Default Oval Silicone Connector For Holley Stealth Ram Throttle Body?

Does anyone make a connector for an oval throttle body to connect 1 or 2 pipes running to twin intercoolers? And also an oval aluminum or stainless pipe?

You don't need an oval connector, a round one will work just fine. If you want to do some mock up before buying/trying random silicone connectors just go to a plumbing supply shop and grab a few rubber pipe connectors. If I remember correctly, a 5" diameter connector is what fit my cobra throttle body. The Holley should be close in size. I'm actually using the rubber coupler on my truck, but it's not pressurized....yet.

Burns stainless makes ovalized stainless... but have your wallet ready.

As far as the silicone coupler, measure the circumference of the OD of the throttle body with a flexible tape measure, divide by pi and then you have the diameter of the round coupler you need to purchase; it will simply deform into an oval.

However, if you want a molded oval boot, that's tough... here's all I could find: http://www.sfxperformance.com/parts/SPT9791.htm
