Default Intake Bellow

Does anyone know where i can get the straight intake bellow for a 97 ws6 that connects the mass air flow sensor to the throttle body? I went to gm and they want almost 200 for one. If anyone can help io will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Joshua

Try these guys. They will sell component parts to you over the phone. Seems like my bellow was about $60. Mine was a litte longer than I liked but works for what I was wanting it for. It flexes anyway.

I have seen that the smooh bellows can be had at Home Depot by getting a Fernco sewer pipe connector. I think the one you would need is the 4" to 3", but I have not got it yet myself. You can warm it in hot water to get it to shape around the throttle body easier. It also comes with stainless band clamps.

4" side should not be to big it may be a little loose on the stock tb
4" is what the vortec comes with it fit the stock tb a bit loose but it works
if you ever get an aftermarket tb you will need the 4"
infact my 4" is a PITA to get over my 5xmm bbk and i mean a royal pain in da **** as in there are a few screw drivers and wd40 involved to get it on.

The secret to getting the 4" to fit over a large TB is to heat the bellow in hot water before stretching it over. This tip comes from Fred (Injuneer).
