make sure you heat it up w/ very hot water so its soft and flexible when you install it, but before that trim them to make it fit real well.

Fernco is the worst "mod" in history. It's a bitch to put on, then it makes removing the filter a BITCH, and it doesn't do ****, did I mention it's a bitch to put on and it doesn't do ****?

Ya, this is really just a cosmetic thing probably. I did the Fernco first and got rid of it because it put too much stress on the lid and looked ghetto. Picked up an SLP bellow for $45, which is of course is too expensive for what it is, but definitely looks nicer than the stock or Fernco stuff.

lol, honestly, just stick with the stock one. And if you are super convinced that these things work, then you can be like me and make the newbie mistake of buying the smooth bellow from SLP....
