Bought my bellow from ATI Procharger, $18.
Its bigger on one end for the TB, its semi flexible, and it will even hold boost

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.

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.

. It was a bitch for me to remove the stock bellows and then put it back on.
