I got suckered and bought one of the crappy toliet smooth bellows off of ebay. Just wondering if anyone has bought one of these also and installed them in their car. Is it safe to use and do u actually gain any HP from a smooth bellow?

What a toilet bellow? any pics?

Smooth bellows are more of an apperance mod, but every lil bit helps

how did you get "suckered in"

and as stated above smooth bellows are an appearance mod, nothing more, nothing less.

I run that same Smooth Bellow that you bought I think it is a Ferco and I bought mine at Home Depot for about $6.00 and it works fine for me.

I use that cheap *** piece too. nothing wrong with it. you just have to trim it to fit.. or atleast i did.

......I had to heat mine with a heat gun (industial version of a hair dryer) to make it stretch a little and fit on my TB. Once you make it fit its really nice (no ribs).

I seem to remember people saying to put a glass bowl of water in the microwave and get it boiling. Then drop the rubber piece in the water and let it get really soft. With it soft you can just push it on the TB (using gloves/oven mits), let it cool (can poor cold water over it if you don't want to wait long), and then it will be a perfect match.

I think I payed a tad over $3 for mine....

I need to setup an ebay account, still have some truck **** left over...

I did mine without trimming or heating. It was a royal pain at first... after a year or so it was trained and now it fits perfectly.
It's a Fernco collar for plumbing. I paid around $3 at Home Depot.

There are the F-car specific parts for $40-$60 and there are the diesel (semi truck) air collars for about $12 that fit better. But for the price of the Fernco, I won't complain. I doubt it does much, but it certainly has to flow air smoother than the stock part, so it can't hurt. It sure looks better.

I had to trim mine, it kept making my lid pop out on the passenger side...
