Save yourself some money and just go down to the local ace hardware and buy a fernco 3 in rubber sewage pipe splice. Works like a charm for like 6 bucks. Honestly it is more for looks than anything and i dout its worth the 1-2 horse for 60-70 bucks

Navy Blue Metallic- `98 Formula M6 HdTp
Let Me put it to you this way
The amount of HP you would get from a smooth bellow would not be enough to feel a difference on the street. So don't waste your money.

Accumulative(RWHP) in nature
Most Bolt-ons are accumulative(RWHP) in nature and a person has to start some where. Air in and air out are the key for any internal combustion engine to free-up HP. All these small add-ons total at the end. Got to start some where unless you spray or force air.

Red Tint Jewelcoat- 2008 Trailblazer SS
I have a Fernco bellow on mine.
Appearance mod, doesn't add any HP.
Also, while I am all for free mods...leave your MAF screen in place if you still have it. While most don't have any issues with the de-screen, you either won't gain anything, or you could go a little lean. The MAF sensors are calibrated for the air being straightened out by the screen.2008 Trailblazer SS

Pewter- 2001 Camaro Z28 M6
Fernco pipe from the hardware store. Looks clean and alleviates the turbulences the stock accordian one creates.

There's a reason why the factory uses the accordion style bellows.
According to the factory dyno's, there is "0"loss
of power and the accordion style allows the flexibility to compensate for engine torque/movement during full throttle operation . And there is also the ease of installation to be considered.
