Coupler/Bellow Question
Coupler/Bellow Question So I recently bought a new lid/maf/coupler and I wanted to run something by you guys.
My lid, when installed correctly, does not line up with my throttle body. I know the throttle body sits below it but I didn't realize that throttle body actually is slightly off center toward the passenger side of the vehicle.
FTP 98mm lid, 85mm maf, and stock tb. I was trying to use a coupler I got off WS6store, not the SLP one, and it doesn't fit very well and I am using the stock coupler until I can get this figured out. I tired adjusting the base of the airbox housing by sliding it toward the passenger side by it doesn't really have much room for adjustment.
Did anyone else notice this? Did you do anything to correct it or just make it work as is?

Lol, I was noticing the same thing with mine last night...
What I did to line up mine (SLP bellow) was turn the coupler left of right till it line up pretty well. It's not going to get "perfect" but it'll get it close.

Either get a SLP bellow/coupler or get one similar with a slight bend in it.

I just put this one on and it works pretty good. It's a 22* bend though and it still needs some trimming to get perfect. If you cut it go slow and trim off only a little at a time. It may take awhile to line the angle up but you'll save yourself the hassle of ******* it up and buying a new one like I had to. Around $40 shipped.
