Type in search: LS1 camaro trans am fbody smooth bellows intake Coupler.
I have been wanting one for a long time, but was unwilling to pay even over $30. Started watching 6-7 per week, some are listed free shipping. I bid $20 and forgot about one auction that ended late. Winner:$17.50 w/ free shipping. It came in and looks of good quality. Always be sure to look at feedback rating, but there are good deals on ebay.

i bought some corsa clone tips from that guy... they are pretty good quality for the price... only complaint i had with them was the shipping... they gave me a tracking number that didn't work for almost 2 weeks... i asked them numerous times about it and they said it was out of their hands... so i thought i was gonna get screwed... then they told me the package got set aside in the warehouse and never got picked up... needless to say i did get my stuff it just took too long... all of their feedback on the smooth bellows look to be good so i'll prob pick one up soon

Save yourself the trouble and stick with the stock bellow. You won't gain any power and will probably end up cracking your lid. I've got a stock bellow between my MAF and 90mm TB on my 408.

I thought that there has been some proven gains from smooth air bellows? It was a slight restriction spot?

Werd, they are still pretty stiff. I only put one on when I ran my single nozzle wet kit. From a fluids standpoint the smooth one may be slightly better but Im sure its very minimal.

I have no doubt that you can pick up .01hp from it.

It's not worth the hassle in my book. The lid is hard to get on and puts it in a bind once you get it on. I'm fairly sure I remember someone swapping on the dyno back-n-the-day and it didn't make a farts difference in a hurricane.
