Re: SMOOTH BELLOWS
I'm guessing not a huge HP difference from stock, but every little bit helps.
Besides, you really can't go wrong with a $5 mod.

Plus it looks a whole lot better than the stock accordian bellows

Re: SMOOTH BELLOWS
Has anyone else noticed that SLP changed thier smooth bellows design? I ordered the one from SLP and got the one in the picture jrp posted, but that's not what the SLP one used to look like is it?
FWIW, mine didn't even fit right I had to cut it to make it fit. Plus, it kept ripping the airbox tabs out of the little holders when the engine would move.

Reason I ask.. There is a character falsely selling what he calls "exactly like SLP" bellows. His version is made of a thicker material simular to the fernco.

Re: SMOOTH BELLOWS
Put on the Air Flow Systems bellows ("hump hose" as they call it) this evening. Had to trim about 1/2" off one side and 1/4" off the other side and buy a new clamp for the throttle body side, but it worked out pretty well... Maybe I'll look into the "fernco" this weekend when I'm at Home Depot buying some stuff for the house.
Thanks for all the help guys !
