I am having trouble installing a throttle body bypass kit with my SLP smooth bellows. The smooth bellows does not allow enough clearence for the bypass so the tubing rubs on my belts. Anyone with some pix of their bypass and bellows, or some ideas on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Old picture of my engine bay, but hopefully this will help you out.

how did you get it not to touch your serpentine belt?

I didn't have to do anything to mine to prevent it from touching the serpentine.

In your situation, you could take some zip ties and run them around the bellows and include the TB bypass inside the zip tie and that would prevent it from touching the serpentine.

I made my own, I didn't buy a kit for it. It might not look tacky if you can find a black zip tie that would blend with your bellows. I don't know that there is a heat resistant one, but a normal one would work fine.
