Why is SF's Throttle body pipe an oval?

First question, why is the pipe an oval instead of a circle? Second, how does it fit on the throttle body???

Because the Throttlebody is 2.5" and our discharge pipe is 2.25. So we oval a piece of 2.5 to create a better transition into the 2.5" TB. We dont like to use reduction couplers, and they wouldnt be low enough profile.

To connect it, just use the piece of 2.5" coupler material that was supplied with the kit.

Hmmm .... ok!

Hey and by the way Mike I am gonna start off with my installation this weekend, so I'll probably have lots of questions for you. Hope you'll be there to help me out ......
Also, I have a few minor parts missing.

That is great. Ask away.
PM me with what parts you may be missing.
Take a lot of pictures. I can always use pictures to update the instruction manuals with.

PM sent!

For the install, I'll be taking loads of pics and even a video. I'll post them up once all done.
