Default Bellows Question

I thought it was supposed to be a 3" to 4"..................now I just read it should be a 3" to 3". Which one is it?
Looks like fernco part # XJ-3 would work well. Almost identical to SLP's smooth bellows http://www.fernco.com/home.html go to specialty products then scroll down to expansion joints.

It will probably be a tight fit, but a 3x3 will go on.

If it pops off, its due to the engine torquing in its mounts. Some have reported this to be a problem.

3x3 and a little microwave action to loosen it up...

Pretty much an appearance mod. Who knows maybe you'll gain a horse? Nah, i doubt it...

Had a little trouble getting the lid on my 2000 Z28 to seat correctly after a SLP Bellow (85mm MAF and high flow lid) in stall. Nothing a little trimming couldn't fix.
