Default 90 degree elbow silicone adapter reducer
So my Volant tube is basically 3.75" OD.....


And my NW TB is 4.25" OD......


So can I stretch a 4" to 3.5" reducer over these? Or will I have to get a 4.5" to 4" reducer? Would that even work since I'd have to clamp them down really good? I'm having a hard time finding half sized reducers.

I wonder if you gould throw your volant tube in the oven for a bit and gently expand the diameter of it just enough to take up the slack from the 4" reducer.

Can I stretch a 4" to 3.5" reducer over these? Or will I have to get a 4.5" to 4" reducer that will be 1/4" too big?
