MAF delete bellows I'm running an HP Tuners 1-bar enhanced OS without my MAF sensor. Does anyone know of a bellows or coupler (even something thats OEM on another car?) that will allow me to connect my lid (SLP if it matters) direct to my throttle body? I know I need 4" diameter on both ends, but everything generic I can find is a 45 degree bend and isn't long enough. I guess I can see what I find for rubber instead of silicone at Home Depot...but I don't expect to have much luck there either.
Only other option would be a piece of straight pipe where the MAF currently is, but I think that'd look kinda cheesy compared to a single bellows from the lid to the TB.

you could get a 4 inch aluminum pipe and cut it to fit from spectre and they also have silicone couplers also. I know pep boys, summit, and jegs sells them. I believe they are cheaper at JEGS.

I got mine from http://www.intakehoses.com. I got a piece 6" of the 4"id silicone hose and a 4" piece of the 4"od aluminum tubing and the with some lube and a little force inserted the tubing into the hose.I did have to cut about a 1/4 to 3/8 off the tubing and work a little on the inside of the hose to get it to fit over the fast toys 85 mm lid which has an od of a little over 4"(around 104mm).I also had to cut ot a small protion of the radiator suport to get it all to fit but is pretty much a straight shot to the tb.
22 degree 4" rubber bend but still not long enough to do your project in one piece. You could fill the gap with a 4" piece of aluminum tubing and small a straight 4" silicone coupler. This piece isn't cheap though.

they have a 4x6 inch silicone hose that works perfect, i just got mine over christmas. great customer service as well. it was like $28 shipped, but well worth it.

With a proper SD tune you'll not only make the same potential power, but you'll have better throttle response. Plus you're losing some weight by removing the MAF and a small intake restriction.
It is a must do on boosted applications.
