Default slp smooth below strong enough?
Has anyone used one with boost? I'll be running about 9psi and I plan on using the slp smooth below from the nick williams tb to a 3 1/2" pipe. It fits so I see no reason to buy another coupling unless it won't hold the boost. Anyone ever tried it?

i have the STS 90 degree that comes with the kit and i would think that the smooth bellow would hold, just make sure you have it on there kinda tight

I've had mine to 15lbs. I even have my meth nozzle installed in it now & it still holds.
