My question is what type of hose clamp would be best to use for the silicone elbow? I usually prefer t-bolt clamps over worm-drive, but not sure if the radius on the clamp will work well with the rectangular shape of the front connection.
As an alternative, has anyone tried heating up the rectangular connection point to reshape it more towards round?

Worm clamp will do as these joints aren't as crucial to be air tight because we're on the suction side before MAF. And there will be a bit of an circular to oval conversion, so on the oval side, you'll just need to pinch the clamp into shape and you're good to go. Mine's on worm clamps and so far so good.
