Smooth bellows worth it?

Hey all, i dont know what happened to that velocity stack tread any one know what happened to it? Anywhoo, i was woundering if the smooth bellow is worth it? I heard a net range of 3-6hp can be picked up for about 45 bucks but i have seen them go for $20 on ebay. Is it worth it? or is it just a waste I am trying to concentrait on all induction and exhaust mods to help my car breath better thank you for the replys

You won't feel the difference with just that, but if you do all the free mods, small little mods (like this one), they do begin to add up

I would use the money on suspension though

honestly...it is 99% visual mod.

i can't imagine how it would give any more than 0.5hp

by the time the air reaches that part of the intake, i don't see how a small amount of added turbulance would affect ANYTHING

It isn't worth the cost. Plus it doesn't allow thw movement between the engine and the air lid. People have had their air lid crack because it's not flexible.

Forget the bellow, you will see no gains worth your trouble, same as everyone else said. If you want to help your exhaust buy headers and you will see major gains 25+ hp.
