Would a LT1 smooth bellow work on a 97 3.8 with a CAI? I don't think it will since I have the angled TB, but just checking. If not, I may attempt to make my own (4" pipe at 90* with a reducer)

Re: Smooth Bellows
Well, the throttle body supposedly is 3 3/4". Having 6" then reduced to 4" would be kind of pointless. It'd be like a bottleneck in your exhaust, except in your intake. It may all flow well through the 6" peices, but once it hits the reducer, it'd be just like having 4" intake. It may make it sound abit different, but I'm not too sure. I think I'm gonna buy a 4" to 3" rubber reducer, then stick a peice of 3" pipe into it and see where I go from there.~97 3.8L V6 Camaro~

Re: Smooth Bellows
i just used 3" ID piping for my intake... pvc piping that is. from the throttle body to the filter. worked out great, consistant size and flow. though i measure the ID of my piping and it's like some wack like 3 1/4" lol... anyways, i couldn't imagine having 4" or bigger since it's not really needed on our cars, and it'd be quite a b**** to put that big of piping on our cars. i now know why there aren't too many full intake systems for our cars.

Re: Smooth Bellows
i used a rubber pvc pipe connection. 3" - 3" piece. i think that was the most expensive piece about my intake setup, besides the filter. though it did take a little effort to get it to go over the TB at first, but after i got it on there the first time, and let my car run(illegally drove it down the road) it fits a lot better, and easier now. i did have to cut about 1/4 of it off so the pvc 90* elbow would fit between the TB and radiator. i also cut an angle into that elbow for a better fit, but i dont think you'd have to do that.

Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
