Any chance I could get a 2.5" - 3" reducer over that elbow diameter? Stick the reducer in a Microwave and heat it up real good maybe?

you have to match the outside diameter of the pipes you are using, and get couplers that have the same inside diameter.



www.burnsstainless.com (they sell pipes with outside diameters)

www.turbohoses.com (they sell couplers, angled couplers, reducers that measure the inside diameter)

www.ebay.com(cheap way to buy t bolt clamps )
