for appearance is way better than the stock one. as for a rise in horses? its one of those, "if your engine is running good, then your feeling good" otherwise the opinions will differ.but 60 bucks for a piece of rubber...a little outta this world in my opinion.

Mine came with my FTRA. Looks better, no doubt but it's nothing I would have actually paid money for.

I did an SLP lid, Ebay bellows, FRA, and descreened the MAF all at the same time and noticed a difference. I'm not dissapointted that I have mine, but take it for what its worth. You're probably better off saving the $20, $30, or $60 for a bigger mod that will net you more power. To each, their own.

the size you want is 3 x 3 and you will have to trim it and either heat it up in boiling water or microwave it to get it big enough to slip on.

I got one just because it looks better, plus i have heard of the fernco cracks lids, but i have no personal experience with that. Definately did not notice a difference before and after with the smooth bellows.

smooth bellows are an appearance mod. I paid about 30 for mine and i dont regret it at all. And Ferncos wouldn't crack lids if yall fixed your raggedity *** worn out rubber motor mounts.

Waste of money IMO, I tried the Fernco but it made my lid clamps pop off all the time so i just went back to the stock piece. Funny, had a guy tell me I was losing at LEAST 40 hp thru my stock bellows once.

I got my SLP smooth bellows for free from my brother so can't complain, but I agree that it is more of an apperance mod than anything, I wouldn't have paid $60 to get one.

I had smooth bellows on my last car, and never put one on my current car - for what that's worth.

That's what a fernco is. Fernco is a name brand.
