slp bellow is trash Does anyone want to buy this piece? I need my fifty bucks back. It doesnt fit at all. The lid fit like a charm before and won't even latch down now. I'm off to Home Depot as we speak to rectify this situation. I guess if you want it right, you gotta do it yourself. Thanks SLP!

If you try to use that SLP bellow with an aftermarket LId you will have to cut a good INCH off it for it to fit. Correctly its just to big. I have one And i know i have to Trim it down some.

My stock MAF and my SLP MAF were both fine with my SLP lid. I had a depot made bellow and i had to cut quite a bit to get it to fit right. Cut the SLP bellow and it will work fine!

That's weird, I have the SLP lid and bellows and haven't had a bit of trouble. Fits on and off everytime and the clips never pop off. But on my friends ws6 his fits ok but the clips do pop off. Very strange.

I will try to get some pics so that you all can see what I am talking about. Both lips just meet together and dont slide in to each other. I have to use a rubber coupling to make them fit together. I am going to work on it tomorrow and will post the results. Wish me luck. Hopefully I wont f*&k anything up.....

I had the fernco on my MTI lid for a while. It started cracking so i removed it.
Just rock the stock bellow is what i say. I put it back on and couldnt be happier. It fits perfect and has tons of flex.
I think i'll sacrifice a HP or two for my lid to not crack anymore. If i feel bad about it, i'll take my floor mats out to make up the difference
