Default From TNT ring to MAF, need help?

I'm currently using the stock bellow, cut and extremly bent up, to go from the TNT power ring, the the stock MAF. What can I buy from one of our sponsers that not only looks nice (colors) but has the proper bend to go up the the MAF, and the right length? I can't be the only one thats ever asked this, yet I did a search, and couldn't find anything relating to my question. Thanks

The onlything out there I know of that would work, is the Direct Flo bellow from http://www.ls1motorsports.com/ . It will still need to be trimmed to fit, but it has the right bend in it and should look clean if done right...

Yes, the power ring is the same diameter as the throttle body is where the bellow mounts to. I had a lot of issues just making my power ring fit in the first place on my car, I had to machine the power ring end surface down to make it shorter, otherwise the MAF end would hit the power ring, even after trimming the lid back as far as I could go..

I ordered the "Direct Flow Bellow" from ls1motorsports, but the odd thing about this is, when I called up and spoke to somebody, they said, "IT WILL NOT WORK FOR THE POWER RING" well, i went ahead and spent 50 dollars anyway, for it being the most expensive piece of rubber i've ever bought.

Thats funny. I just got my TNT kit and I have almost everything done but i'm having so much trouble getting the lid to fit on. I was in the process of trimming my lid and I accidentally broke it. Even so I went as far as possible right before that and there was still no way in hell it was going to work. Does anyone also make a lid thats easier to trim? So I could take alot off and still be ok? I'm going to try the bellow from LS1motorsports also.

I recieved the direct flow bellow from ls1 motorsports today, went home to try it, and here are the results: Goes on the TNT powerring with ease, and with minimal trimming, mated exactly up the the lid. Awesome bellow guys, LS1 motorsports did it again! Now for all you people with the TNT rings, here is our answer.
