AFAIK, the purpose of the bellows is to allow for slight bending for alignment when the bolts are tightened - and to allow for expansion/contraction which occurs from exhaust heat followed by cooling. You'll know if the bellows is necessary if the flange gaskets start to leak. Extreme expansion could lift the upper plenum enough to cause an intake leak at the lower intake/plenum flange joint, but I doubt that will happen. Let us know how it works over time.

I have to wonder what the purpose of the bellows was in the first place. Maybe I'll find out soon!


To conceal the cracks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> so you have to wonder where the leak is comming from.

FYI I have a 95 LS 3.0 24 valve engine and it does not have EGR. However, the california model of this car does have EGR.
