Smooth Bellows instead of Fernco

I wouldn't take the smooth bellows if it were free. Why would I purposefully put on a part that yields no horsepower gain and cracks lids and causes airbox sealing issues? The smooth bellows is the biggest scam since the turbonator.

I'd pay real money to be able to say I have dual turbonators.
Hell I'd have a custom plate made.

i picked up a k&n intake kit real cheap and i have been using the bellows it came with, with my lid, it fits and flexes much better than the fernco, which i have tried as well. buti would not spend 40 bucks for a bellows either

I cant find a damn 85mm lid

Thank you for your help.

Isnt this any proof that the smooth bellows/frenco flow better?

Patrick G turned me on to these, not sure which one you need. I need to know the length too as as I want to go full SD and get rid of the MAF. So a good 6-7" between the lid and TB, 4" both ends if I go with an 85mm lid from Fast Toys.net and the 90/90 I have on order.
