I wasn't all that crazy about the fit of my whisper lid....a little too hard to get back on after a filter change (standard paper filters). So i got a smooth bellows; still was hard to get back on. Ended up trimming the lid outlet a little, as the opening was concave, and got a better fit using the smooth bellows. When i first unpacked the lid i thought the molding was a little thin, but so far this lid is tougher than it looks. Just my opinion.

Usually they are pretty tight on the first time you install it. Over time mine have formed just perfect to fit the air box. It pops on and off pretty much like stock now.

Another vote for SLP lid with the smooth Bellow
Works great, Looks good AND It's the best Lid EVER

Lid is not just a Lid
Muffler is not just a muffler
IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN WHAT YOU GET
even if is small difference
