Default Fernco installed

finaly figured out how to install the fernco, it was realy easy so i guess i should say i finaly got up off my but and did it, the Key to the install with out cutting it was to heat it up in the microwave for 1 minute and then with gloves on (learned the hard way) you can form it to fit and stretch it around the throttle body. looks awsome

Default Fernco Fitting Bellows

THIS WAS the most helpful with the FERNCO fitting.... a little heat in the microwave on HIGH 45-60 seconds was just enough to make it plyable enough to make it over the TB and cut the angle for the MAF... thanks a bunch for the info....
