What do you suggest to make them fit? I tried to do it with these years ago and wound up wasting alot of money trying to figure out a way to split them and clamp them. I could never get it to work.

I used some flexible metal exhaust tubing I think 3.5" (I dont remember - bigger than the connection) and cut it down the middle w/tinsnips, and hoseclamped it in on itself until it became the correct diameter to fit.
