Default where to get a 4" oval to 3" round throttle body reducer?

I think I explained that right! Have the Holley StealthRam intake with 1000cfm TPI-style throttle body (about 4" oval) that needs to connect to 3" IC plumbing. Can't find where to get this piece..... any help?

thanks

Hey Rodger. I thought someone made this part? So it's a custom deal only?

Yep, I checked the Burns site too but all I can find anywhere so far is a 4" oval to 4" round transition....

Yeah I have looked a lotta places, and I talked to Turbo Hoses here in Livermore and they don't know about that piece either. He recommended a 3 to 4 round reducer, then a 4 to 4.5 that bends the 4.5 over the 4.25" oval part. W are gonna try to get the 3 to 4 piece to fit over the oval, which he said he has done one time, but it was a biatch!

Would really like to keep it to just one piece vs 2.
