The correct size would be a 3x4. I have a 3x3 sitting here and mo way I'll use it. I'd like a hump hose but I'm not paying what they want for them now. I'll go back to the original factory bellows if I have to. I like the SLP bellow but and not paying $60 for it.
There are other options out there. From the turbo crowd there are plenty of silicone couplers with humps as well. Its just finding a 3"x4" that comes in black and is not too stiff. There is a compnay in China I'm trying to hook up with to produce an inexpensive alternative to the SLP smooth bellow.

no bellow is going to give any HP increase. I installed the SLP on on my car and couldn't notice a thing. The SLP has a better fit and won't break the lid like the Fernco because its made to flex. Not worth it in my opinion.

I tried 2 different times with the Fernco and my knife and custom fitting and tried over an hour out the sun. I twas not possible to get it to fit, even got a frined to try, its a pain. I'm getting a used slp one. Not worth your time and gas and 5 dollars it costs.

What are you guys doing to make this so hard. I cut mine to fit with a cut off wheel then put it in the microwave for about 2 minutes and it went right on no hassles.

i have a NW90 throttle body and an 85mm lid with an 85mm maf.
I'm still using the stock bellows because they still fit, but just a hair tighter.
If I went the silicone route just to make it look better under the hood, I'm wondering if I would just get a straight 4" hose about 6" long and just trim it from there. I need to measure that sh*t!
