Bought my bellow from ATI Procharger, $18.

Its bigger on one end for the TB, its semi flexible, and it will even hold boost

I had a Ferno on my car. Dyno'ed showed nothing! I went back with the stock bellow.

I got one. I like it. It makes it look cleaner under the hood. Not sure if I gained anything but sure I didn't loose any.

What size on each end of the fernco will i need?

Yelo

just get a 3"...you'll need to stretch it over the TB (use silicone to lube it up a little)

With time the fenco will bend and block air after the MAF. I suggest you cut it up a little so it fits perfect.

dont tell me you actually expect to gain anything

bill99hawk

No I was just saying that for anyone who expected gains. I went back to the stock bellow because my H/C package lopes where the fernco has no flex at all, and I didn't want to crack my lid.

i got the fernco also. dont think i gained anything but it did smooth out the stock one. throw it in a pot of boiling water then fit it on.

My fernco looks good, has to flow better than a stock bellow, and was 6 bucks. I had no fitment problems whatsoever, it went right on, and is soft enough that it allows the engine to move a little bit. Bill99hawk's didn't flex at all- mine does.

Get the 3" X 3"- it is a direct fit with no modification. I'd imagine there would some power gains over a stock accordion style bellow (2-4 rwhp)- engines don't like turbulent air.

Unfortunately, something like that would never show up on a dyno because many dynos have more than a 2-4 hp margin of error or inconsistency IMO.

For those of you who don't want to risk cracking your lid, check this link:

I just ordered one of those myself the other day.

Let me know how that works out. I'm looking for something that has some flex for the lope of a larger cam. Just don't want to spend over $50 for something like the SLP for a cheap piece of rubber.

i went back to stock after having one because i didn't want to crack my lid

It just got to my door. I plan to put it on sometime tonight or tomorrow and hopefully get to the track on saturday morning. We will see. At any rate it seems as though I will get to the track with not one single change to the car besides the "hump hose" as TSP has not shipped my ported TB yet.....I am hoping i gain at least 0.03 from it....I think that is possible
I will probably get slightly cooler air as well.

well after taking a look at my air filter i find out my whsiper lid is cracked. need to changed lids and bellow.

I believe a good hair dryer works just as well, but to each his own . It was a bitch for me to remove the stock bellows and then put it back on.
