I have seen them for as little as $24 OEM..

If the leaking bellow is inside the engine compartment (most likely spot), you get a lot of unburned gas fumes expelled in the exhaust....

Very Dangerous, could BLOW UP on you.. :oops: :explode: :titanic:

Better safe then sorry.......... I wouldnt take the chance.....

thanks for the heads up. the bellow that is torn is the one that is outside the engine compartment and hooks up to the outdrive, guess that is still dangerous though right.

Some outdrive bellows actually have cuts in them to aid in the flex they go thru in tilt other will tear when tilted and left this way in the ofrf season some have little cuts in them to help relieve alittle of the exhaust pressure if on the outside the notable issue will be a slight increase in exhaust sound level.
