What is the deal with the smooth inlet bellow from SLP. The ws6 store sells them and it is claimed to give it 6hp, I'm skeptical but curious if it works...Anyone have this? Does it work?

SLP Fitment Sucks. I made a Newb mistake and bought on of there bellows. I had to cut about a 1/2 inch off of it to fit. Which I shouldn't have to have done for a $50 piece of rubber.

I bought it knowing fully well I wouldn't gain anything, I just thought it looked better than the accordian-style bellow that comes stock. I think I gained about 1/20 of a HP at 250 MPH due to the smoother transition between the throttle body and the lid.

I got one, and it fits/looks great. Doubt I picked up any power, but I didn't pay full price for it either.

Got one here too. More for the look. And I thought it made a better holder for my fogger nozzle.

Welcome to the party. What color is your Firehawk? Call SLP with the vin # to find out your number. I think the smooth bellow is useless. It's an appearance mod, but honestly I think my stock one isn't too bad...
