I purchased all of my connectors and clamps (like those)at www.atpturbo.com. You have a choice of color there.

The stock TPI & LT1 throttle body accept a 4" silicone coupler. As for a 4" oval to 4" round coupler, I have never seen a molded one. You wight get away with a regular 4" coupler, or you may not. I never tried it. I use a CAI that is oval just the like the picture that was posted and a 4" silicone fits the TB and the oval pipe perfectly. Yes, they are called T-bolt clamps. and summit is expensive.

Make sure you get the 4.25" t-bolt clamps, the 4" won't get large enough.

I bought some clamps and silicone from these guys. No complaints. They'll sell you a 1' long piece if you want.

a 4" round connector will fit the throttlebody perfectly, and transition to round nicely.

Silicone is pretty flexible. Make sure that your TB is the right size around and has a lip. The place I directed you to has a bunch of different sized reducers if you need also.
