Default Speed density bellows

Ive been trying to find pictures of what guys are using for bellows running SD. Will y'all post yours up? I just ordered a FTP 104mm lid and have a 4x6 straight coupler from WWW.intakehoses.com Im hoping it will fit since the OD of the FTP is 108MM or 4.25 in..

I have the same setup. It will be a mother to get on. I ended up getting a paper towel, spraying a little wd-40 on it then wiping the outside neck of the lid and then the inside of the bellow. It's going to hit on the lower air box as well just have to keep playing with it. Once you get it on.l, and if you ever need to take the lid off, keeping the coupler on the lid and just loosening off the throttle body and removing the lid and coupler as one piece has been easier for me.

I'm going through this now, as well. I ordered several couplers from intake hoses . Com. I'm using my SLP lid though. I'm most hopeful the 4x6 22 degree hose will fit perfectly. I hope to get it installed tomorrow.

5_litre_eater would the opening on SLP lid be more restricted compared to the opening on the FTP 104mm lid?

Let me know how it fits with some pics. I have not seen anyone use the 22 degree coupler so I went with the straight one.

The SLP lid is more restrictive-- the OD of the lid is 3.8". I didn't go with the FTP because of the quality issues I've read about and the fact my SLP lid rubs, so the larger FTP lid would make a lot of contact.

So you were able to use a 4" coupler on the SLP lid? I was wondering if it would fit too loose.

Yeah, it went on nice and tight. The only issue was the coupler probably needed to be angled a bit, but I couldn't find one, so went with the 4"x6" straight one. I was able to get it to work; just required a little finesse.

The 4" coupler fits good on the slp lid. I ran that before I picked up this lid

Good to know. I did a trial fit of the 4" coupler on the SLP lid and it fit loose by 1/8"-1/4" . I'm hoping the band clamps are able to compress the slack.

OP, I will post up some pictures tomorrow of what I accomplish with my setup.

I found the final solution for this and its going to fit like a gloove between the throttle and the ftp 104 lid

it is spectre 4" 22.5 degree flex boot - part number is 9770



i will take photo for it installed on my trans am later

good luck

4inch exhaust pipe fits perfect inside the 104lid. Make about a 4 inch section of it and then use a smooth bellow stretched around it for an easy combination.

The 4" 22 degree from intake hoses .com works perfect!

The angled one would make thing easier, but I couldn't find it, so I opted for the straight one.

I ghetto'd mine with two 4" drain adapters at lowes for $16. The clamps tightened it down perfectly.
