Default Bellow question

I know there's been numerous threads about bellows; but I couldn't find a suitable answer through search. I changed over from the K&N FIPK to a FTRA and Fast Toys 85mm air lid. Got 92mm intake setup. Problem is the Nitrous plate puts the throttle body very close to the MAF. Stocker, even cut up, won't fit. What do you guys suggest? I'm about ready to say screw it and go SD and chunk the MAF. Thanks in advance for help.

I had this same problem when I had my throttle body spacer on the car... I had the fernco bellows and trimmed it as much as I could and got it to fit... the throttle body and MAF were litterally touching each other....

I trimmed a 4" Fernco and got it to fit. I've not fired it up cause I'm afraid of breaking my lid with motor shake. Not had time to put my poly motor mounts in. Bellow don't look great; but it is on. Anyone else got some suggestions?

Did some additional slight trimming and adjusting. Looks pretty good now. Got a ball in the middle like the SLP unit. No where near as flexible I'm sure. Gives some; but I'm sure it would break the lid if I drove the car much. Probably gets less than 300 miles a year, so I think it will be okay till I get a chance to put the poly mounts in.
