I may have your answer... I have the K&N FIPK CAI in my car... And the outlet on my filter is oval like on the blackwing... Maybe you can pick one of those couplers up somewhere. I can't upload pictures from my phone. But look on Google! It may work! Goodluck

Good call dude! If I remember correctly, when I switched from my k&n to the blackwing, the bellows was near identical.

^^^ thanks I try to help out when I can... I bet K&N can tell you where to get that coupler... Or maybe even sell one to the OP. That would sweet if it fit. Like he said EVERYONE has a SLP lid... Few lucky ones Run Blackwing. I bet they dnt rub on the lid like most SLP lids do. Hope the OP reads this before he sells the lid!!!

14k, measure around the oval opening on the lid, then divide by 3.14, that will let you know the (round) size of a bellow that might work.

I'd keep looking on eBay for the boot, but I think some
of the turbo hose places like bakerprecision might have
custom or close-enough options.

I'd even consider laying up my own out of silicone and
fiberglass cloth, although this is liable to be not-pretty.
For that matter a plain fiberglass layup for the transition
and a simple round hose, would be pretty easy to fab.
Paint it black and nobody knows nuthin'.

I've sent K&N an email to get the dimensions of this FIPK bellow. I'll take those dimensions and compare them with my Blackwing bellow. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

Ok take the circumfrence and divide by 3.14 and get the diameter. Should be roughly 5.25 get a fermco coupler thats around 5.25 and soak in boiling water. Then squeze into ovsl shsp and pull over the lid and let it cool. The heat will contour the rubber and make it easier to work with
