What a Rush

iTrader: (2)

Hey any you guys got any ideas for a custom bellow. I am new at this but I dont really see the reason to spend 60-90$$$ on a bellow. I would like to go to auto zone or ace hardware and just make my own that will flow better.

Any Idea's??

There isn't really a noticeable "flow" gain from any of them, including the fernco (which I would stay away from cause its kind of ghetto)

If your really set on it, look into a silicone coupler.
If you've still got your MAF you can prob get away with a 3" long one, but without you'll need over 4" (most come in 3" sections)

just Google silicone couplers, or silicone hose.
I'd link some but none are vendors IIRC and that's discouraged.

Also keep in mind its mostly an aesthetic mod, there are prob some un-arguable flow gains but not enough to make a noticeable difference.

I've heard some bad storys about the fernco mod though. But he just gave you what to search for and then it was up to you to find it out nobody was "talkin to you like a ho" chill out brother.

bellows suck and are a waste of time/money. keep the stock one. its not worth the pain in the *** for .5-1 HP

I actually tossed my fernco bellow out a couple of days ago. It's a pain in the *** to get the filter out without having to unfasten the bellow from the MAF.

Went back to the accordion one.

Everyone needs to cool it.

Those are just from the last few months too.
There are many more threads.

I removed the bashing and re-opened this thread.
If it happens again, I'm locking it again and it stays locked.
I think I had to remove about half the posts.
