Do you have a 85mm MAF? If so just get the SLP smooth bellow thats what I did and it fit w/ no problems, I do have the 85mm TSP lid though. Also the fernco bellows arent as flexible or angled like the SLP and could cause you to crack the MAF or lid because of the angle it must bend at on a F-body.

4" was way to big for my nw tb and slp maf.

3"x3" fit after a pretty intense wrestleing match.

Cool looks like Ill be getting 3.5/3in. I dotn run a MAF so thats not an issue. I would order the SLP one but Ive found a website that sells them about less then half than what SLP wants for them. Plus Ive already had one of those . Id keep the stock one on there, but I ditched the power ring, ordered a new lid & Im not cutting this one so Im going to put the nozzles in the bellow instead of the power ring.
