Stroker,
Go down to the fabric store and buy the half-yard of stretch polyester.
Since it's so simple, wouldn't your girlfriend sew something up for you? This thread has everything she needs to know to build it.
Or, do what I did when I was even younger than you are today, find a machine and learn how to use it yourself.
It's all part of the self-reliance thing that we hang around here for.
And one more "notch" in your young bag-o-tricks.

Funny how most people think sewing machine are hard. I used my wifes to make a window covering for my last truck. Working nights, last thing I wanted to do was scrape windows just to come home. Unfortunately, it didn't fit the crew cab, and I haven't made another one yet.

The baseline ended up being with my very old (almost a year), very filthy 6637. I went straight from that to a new filter with the cover. EGT's are 50 degree's lower at cruise and nearly 100 degrees lower at full boogie (I told you it was filthy). Next up is to remove the KwikPopcover and test aginst the new filter solo, but based on what I have now, I expect very little difference. More to follow.

this past weekend while waiting for RedLobster, i went across the street to the fabric store and got some scraps. it is a large piece (maybe .75 yd2) and it's in a deep blue, sort of like a navy. i blew threw three layers of it with my mouth and there wasn't much restriction.

For all of you that don't sew: there is an ironable adhesive available so that you just heat fuse the seams together. melt temp is about 200-300 *f. about a buck and change for a roll. Just ask the craft ladies.
I used to do this to my rank patches so the commander could just rip them off in a hurry if need be.
