Does a smooth bellows really make a difference? I have a 2002 SS with just a TSP lid, Holley power shot filter, msd wires and adding a Hooker cat back this weekend. Will a smooth bellows really make a difference? My b/f says not really and that they make it harder to get the lid on and off because it's not as flexible as the stock bellows. Any input guys?
Yeah, its pretty much an appearance mod. You may pick up 1 or 2 horse. Nothin you'll feel though. As for the lid i really didnt notice anything harder about putting it on with the bellows.

Whether it helps or not, i say do it just because it really cleans up the the look of the intake. if you want to go cheap, just buy the 3x3 Ferco from the plumbing section of Home depot for $5. I have it and looks great.

Thanks guys. I wasn't sure if it was just an appearance mod or what. I like the fact of not having the accordian look for dust and sand to get trapped in. I did read where it smooths the air flow out. I just wasn't sure if that was just a sales pitch bs line or not.

She's got an SS so she's not going to have an aftermarket hood issue, but the slight trim on the end and something slippery are good ideas. You can even boil some water and dump it in there. Really softens it up and slides right on!
Yup, like everyone said. More of an appearence mod.
I'm still running the stock one.
I have an SLP one for Tbyrne that I plan to try.
