Watch your lid go snap now. Well, the SLP lid is softer than others, so that may not happen.

there's still a fair amount of "wiggle" room in there.

if the motor moves far enough to break the lid, you have other issues and a 100 dollar lid isnt your biggest expense...

It is going to heat up and it has no flexing. Have to think things through man!

it wont flex but like i saidthat motor wont move enough to cause problems with teh other bellows he has in place. i don tknow why people keep saying this. its going to heat up? like the stock MAF ends. stainless has better heat rejection traits than aluminum, which is what our maf ends are made of.

It's all good man. At either end of the bellows is 1/4" of flexible coupler. This shakes my lid less than the fancy pants 85mm MAF set up did. Sometimes you just have to think things through man!

shoot me a pm and let me know what you had to do to get it inline. i am thinking about going this way when i get a wide band. im sick of dealing with inconsistancy of narrowbands and that they have to oscillate right for everything to work
