Smooth Bellows instead of Fernco
i wouldnt just because i know it gives at most 1hp. so while a $70 per hp mod sucks, a $40 per hp mod sucks almost as bad. i fernco is less than $5. the absolute most i'd pay for a specialty designed piece that would easily fit on the first time w/o having to boil/cut it would be like $10....the same price as a ticket to see redline in NY lol.

I tried the Fernco setup, but I couldn't get everything to fit/line up correctly...ended up picking up another smooth bellow from a friend for real cheap...

I like the SLP unit. Its a quality peice. Hell you could use 3" pvc as well if you wanted to and hard pipe it. I've got far to much into my car to open the hood and see a common plumbing part that may or may not crack my lid. $35 might be a real do able price. Anyone seriously interested pm me and lets see what we can do.
One thing to keep in mind is, make sure that SLP bellows comes in the 4" (90MM) for your set up.

From looking at your pic (link below), I think you will have to cut the SLP and/or the one from the link I posted. And I am betting that you will need to cut one side of the bellows at an angle to get proper fit. I see how your lid is angled down and the the TB is straight. But, I am sure you know this so good luck.

I know my pic is not the best angle but here is the way mine is. N20 wiring is not done yet either..Just a mock up for now.

Nice tool rack ..lol Yea, they all have to be cut for proper fit. What I'm looking to have made will need to be cut as well but it will work with a maf or without it. It will be long enough to use for just about any application. Problem is it keeps getting to be more and more money to produce. Because of the angle I have to buy the tooling and then making it 7 inches instead of 6 costs me as well.
Cant wait to get my plate from Dave. He's making it special for my application. Dual stage with fittings in front and back.

I have yet to use my Nitro Dave's plate. The car has been sitting over the winter broke and finally got her fixed and I should be on the road tomorrow beatin the **** out of her..
Good luck.
I did the frenco thing for awhile and I thought it was to stiff even after trimming it to fit. I couldnt get my lid to fit right because of the stiffness. I said screw it and went with a slp bellows and its great.
Waterbug1999, you probably already know, but you're missing nuts on both front strut bolts.
I love my Fernco so much I left the cool purple label on it.....I would go with the smooth bellows if you come across a good deal on used stuff or something like that.
