4" x 2" oval. If not do a metal reducer after the silcone section.

Treadstone aluminum has quite a selection of silcone hose and aluminum tubing.
Hey Rodger,

Yeah I talked to a couple places and they had me measure the circumference and divide by 3.14 (pi). This is the number that would be ideal for a round transition size. For me this number is 4.26". And no one makes a 4.25" piece so we are gonna try to do a 4" and make it fit with some massaging and lube (that's what she said ).

I would rather not do 2 pieces and keep this transition short and allow more of the stainless piping to be exposes than silicone.
