Talking Installed Air Flow Smooth Bellow

Not a big deal, but I finally broke down and spend the $20 on the Air Flow Smooth Bellow. I am starting to try and clean up my engine bay and this was the first...and least expensive step! Took her for a quick spin and registered a very tiny tick on the butt-o-meter. Good times

I couldnt tell a single bit of difference, by adding a lid, doing all the free mods, and smooth bellow. Maybe im just a negative person.

Morgan, you have that goofyass Hooker catback. Skytower has the GMMG catback. He needs WAY more air entering the motor to keep his exhaust flowing than you do

I knew it was more for looks, and hey, any benefit works also!

Hey Cammin BeaSSt, you haven't responded to my PM about a GMMG for the Grand Prix/W-Body's. Whats up with that!

What's the deal with this piece guys? I'm looking to do the mod, but I will be using Samco hose parts. What is the diameter, is it 3-3.5", or 3.5 - 4", trying to figure out what I need. It's gotta match my new red Samco hose kit, for bling reasons...

Thanks
Rob

The exhaust is AWESOME!!! Hopefully we can all get together again out in Woodland Hills.

BAD *** TA WS6,
The air flow piece is 3.5" to 4". The 4" side is for the throttle body and the 3.5" is for the MAF. It fit pretty well after some trimming and I used the stock band clamps. Definately worth its weight in "bling"
