Bellows and Lid
Bellows and Lid
I bought the smooth bellow from QMP (ls1 motorsports) and a Tsp Lid, im having trouble installing the bellow with the lid. anybody got the same set up...? What do i need to do to make it fit?
For 1 the lid itself, at least when I got mine a few
years ago, has notches(the four in the back) that were
a little bigger than the factory so the first time it takes
some pressure, be sure to push down at the neck area.
Just use some common sense so it doesn't crack.
The bellow, which really is a waste of time unless
you just want something that looks better, doesn't
flex so you really have to push forward(towards MAF) to
compress it enough to make it fit. Just so you know
the lid will be a lot more likely to pop off since there is
little to no flex. I had the curved SLP one and it came
off too much so I sold it.
You may want to put on the lid with the stock bellow for
a week or so until the notches in the back "break in"
(for lack of better words) before putting on the bellow.
Or in my opinion, send the bellow back and figure you have
50 bucks towards some suspension goodies. You'll actually
see a gain that way.
