Is there another option for the "accordian" style intake bellows found on Ram Air Trans Am's? It would seem that a smooth, but flexible piece of rubber would be better.

 

Do a search for WS6 bellows. you will find several threads with info about this. Most people replace the accordian style bellows with the Fernco sewer coupling.

 

I went to Home Depot and bought a fernco rubber coupler for like $4.50. Bought the 3in to 3 inch and stretched it over. Looks real clean. Just had to drimmel a lil whole in the side for the opti vent.

 

Thanks for the reply's. Do you think it made any difference performance wise?

 

It didn't hurt.....

Its hard to believe you would be able to notice a change that small.

 

Yes a fernco cuppler.. If it is too hard to place over the throttle body and MAF, try putting it in a pot with boiling water for a few minutes to "loosen" up the rubber. Once its soft and bendable, place it on the throttle body and MAF, and once it cools it will "harden" to its mold.

 

I didn't feel a difference, heh. And yeah, it was a PITA to stretch over the TB, so some pulling and prying with a screw driver helped
