Re: SLP Bellow's Kit a) im sure SLP did some research with the WS6 lower airbox in developing the piece
b) if there is a problem with the length of the lid, you caneasily trim the lid a bit with a piece of chalk and a dremel.

Re: SLP Bellow's Kit The Fernco sucks IMO.Big *** chunk of non-flexible rubber just isnt what I consider a nice mod. At least the slp one bends...it just costs $43 more <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

Re: SLP Bellow's Kit Get the Baker hose it's flexable and comes in red blue black and yellow and only cost $30.00 shipped, it's way better than the fernco toilet bowl hose on a camaro. <img src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" border="0" alt="[barf]" />

Re: SLP Bellow's Kit The bellows kit is good, but the first time its a pain in the *** to install its pretty stiff, I found the best way was to put in onto the maf, tighten down the clamp, then push it onto the TB as hard as you can (it will most likely want to go inside the TB...when it does this take a flathead and pry the lips some more...and you are doing this all while you are trying to get the airbox in place and getting ready to clamp it down..its a pretty sketcky install, but it works.. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: SLP Bellow's Kit I was having the same problem with the OEM bellows when I put the Whisper lid on. I was a little afraid of the hardware piece bellows replacement since I'm concerned it may not maintain a good seal with the engine torqueing back and forth. For that reason I spent the $$$ for the SLP bellows. When I installed the bellows I loosened up ALL the clamps and patiently worked everything in. Works great!

Re: SLP Bellow's Kit thanks for the reply's im not worried about spending the money if it work's. As far as the baker hose goes i went to that guy's site and as far as i could see he only has red and blue and i want black maybe i was mistaken but the SLP bellows seems like the way to go <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">
Re: SLP Bellow's Kit Dude, it's just $50.
It took me a total of 15 minutes from start to finish.
Including: disconnecting the battery, IAT and MAF sensors (I think that's right <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0"> ), pulling the Lid forward while still attached to the MAF, removing the stock Bellows (not necessarily in that order), and replacing it with the SLP.
Looking at all the ribs in the stock bellows and comparing it to the rib in the SLP bellows, I'd say it was a good mod <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
If for nothing else other than visual improvement.

Yea well I guess you spent some when you bought a SS instead of a Z28 <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0">
