There are pictures on eBay of the wannabe, and plenty of pictures of the SLP at vendor websites linking from this page. A wannabe has one rib, the new SLP one looks like somebody molded rubber around a big tennis ball, and then added a tube coming out one side to connect to the MAF and another on the other side at a weird angle to connect to the TB. The SLP one doesn't really have a "rib" anymore.

check my website (click pic), its the latest rendition of the SLP bellow. the old design SLP bellow looked a bit different so you still might infact have an SLP bellow just not the new design they use now.

was the older SLP bellow molded at an angle to fit from the maf to the tbody? cuz the one i got has one definite rib in it and no angled just straight, i got it in the box there was that piece then about a 2" wide piece and 3 clamps? so it looks to me like someone bought the wannabe cut it to fit and sent me all the stuff this was sold to blownGTX advertised as an SLP bellow then sold to me as an SLP bellow, i just want the damn bellow like you got JRP im damn well know its not gonna gain anything i just want it cuz im put a NX MAF kit on and i dont want fuel puddling in the stock bellow plus the SLP looks nicer, anyone know of a SLP bellow newer style like JRPs for sale? let me know

Yeah, I got one of the sucker supposed SLP bellows, it looks like a straight through that you could find in the plumbing aisle in Lowes. I had to cut the crap out of it continually to keep it from pushing the SLP lid sideways and knocking the clip off it. I would be interested in information on an AWESOME bellow that will fit without having to cut the hell out of it. This car is too nice to have hacked up parts on it! Thanks friends.

Man, that clear lid would look awesome on my car...since I don't have a MAF and you would be able to see clear into the throttle body while the car was running. I don't know how I feel about those bellows though.
