Default Where to get the smooth bellows....?????

I saw on a thread a couple months ago where someone had a clear MTI lid and they had some sort of bellow that they got pretty cheap and it looked really clean. I went to the website and thought I saved it, evidently not. Can someone help me out?

Nevermind I found it. Anyone know the correct size for a stock LS6 throttle body? I believe it is 4".

you can go to Home Depot and spend $6.xx in the pulmbing section. It looks just as good and has the same power results

LMPerformance sells the SLP for $63, WS6Store as the SLP for the same price or an MTI for $50.

if you have bad motor mounts, the fernco bellows has horrible results. i took mine off and spent the $$$ on a SLP one so the bellow would actually stay on

Or you can just stick with your stock one as those don't do anything but for looks.

This one won't work for me. I am running a SD tune and do not have a MAF. I am thinking about the 4"x6" straight tube. Probably gonna order it Monday. I'll let you guys know if it works.
