This may or may not be helpful, but I 3D printed some custom flanges out of ABS because I have access to a printer in my work's maker space. They were custom because I wanted to hang them from a Adel clamp. May not be an option for you, but if you know someone with a printer they are dirt cheap to make.
 
What I did

You may have already seen/dislike/or maybe not..I didnt use any flange for my 3/4, and used the black corrugated tube, "screwed" into a 3/4ish diameter hole, then RTV bead sealed. Clean and simple. You can see one on the inlet ramp and 2 on the back baffle.

I have several of the nice, custom made 3/4" bell mouth flanges left that I would like to sell $15 each. The 1/4"R bell mouth allows them to flow better and have a 063" flange for securing. I made these at home and the fit and finish is nice. They should flow about 20% more air due to eliminating the turbulence at the entry. Please PM me.

I have made these, on request, for a few folks in both 5/8", as well as 1". All dimensions are OD and should match the Scat or corrugated hose size.

I am also considering making bell mouth flanges for the 4 or 5" oil cooler hose. I know many struggle with high oil temps and being able to reduce the turbulence to increase air flow could be an advantage. The stock is more expensive, so they won't be cheap, like these little parts. I am looking to work with someone who can test them out and prove their effectiveness.
