Buy some 3" mandrel bends and then go to turbohoses.com and get a 3 to 4 adapter hose. Or just make the ends like i do.

i checked those out, and they were round and said fiberglass reinforced... so it doesn't sound like they would flex around the oval TB

You could also weld a 3 to 4 adapter on the end of the pipe and then just use some water hose for a truck. Probably cheaper yet. (more inexpensive)
