Smooth Bellows I just got my first Camaro, and my first LS1, converted from Mustang 5.0's. Anyway, if your wondering, I love it. I have a question about these smooth bellows I've been seeing between the intake and the mass air meter ( that eliminate the accordion effect ). I've seen people selling them, but in some of the pictures I've seen on this site, it looks like some people are using Fernco's. Can you use Fernco's for this? Thanks for any help.

If your talking about fernco's used in plumbing, then yes you can. As long as you can make it fit. Same material anyway I believe. Hope this helps. I have a smooth bellow on mine, but it was bought and already fitted for my application. Good luck.

Thanks for all the responses. I figured if I spend a few bucks on a Fernco, and it doesn't work out, I can still use it to throw at the old lady when she pisses me off. J/K, but seriously, I'm doing it mainly for looks, plus my accordion thing is kinda bunched up, I don't see how it could hurt air flow. I'll try it and let ya'll know what happens.

i used 4" "turbo hose" is what the guy at parts store called it... just cut it to fit, took 2 tries though the throttle body part will need to be angle cut since it sits lower.
