My new TFS intake for my 2000 GT has an oval TB. I'm running a vortech centrifuge SC. Is there T-bolt clamps that will fit an oval pipe of tb?

Well you could bend the T-Bolt clamp in the shape on an oval or use regular hose clamps. Oval shaped T-bolt clamps are not made. But here is a good place that has everything you could think, and they dont have oval shaped T-bolt clamps.

I have been shopping there for several years and their clamps for 4.5" parts will not fit their coupler 4.5" I have right now. He said I could send them back. I don't think you could bend it enough?

Here's a few pics of the coupler and the clamp. I measured the inside and outside diameter of the coupler and clamp. At first he thought I was doing something wrong until I sent these pics. Then said he was trying to work with is manufacture to resolve the problem. I aso have 2, 5" clamps that are to big that I'm also sending back. I know when I first started using these people not hardly anyone in the Mustang online communities knew of them.

Well after taking nut all the way off and my wife starting the nut while I squeezed the clamp together we got it started. I just tightend it down after that. I was worried it would cut into the coupler more than it did.

I have not been through this exactly but when I upgraded to a 78mm throttle body, it was a pita to get the coupler on with the hose clamp, a little lube and and elbow grease and it finally went on, thank god for ky warming sensation's. lol
