intercooler piping to short

[bigbrdf250]

when installing my new turbo i noticed that the shoort route ic piping on the drivers side is too short. when using the silicone elbow from the turbo to the pipe i would way about 3.5" too short, can i just cut the pipe and add a coupler and be done as a good permanent solution?? i think it might work.
the intercooler is a short route cx racing and its the drivers side pipe by the o2 dump.

1g talon by the way and thanks

If you cut the pipe to use it as an extension piece, you need to have the cut ends beaded.

I had this same issue when I installed my front mount. I bought some metal piping from home depot to fill the gap and it was by far the worst idea ever I kept blowing the lower I/C pipe off almost daily running at 18 lbs but my suggestion is make sure the new section has a lip on it so the couplers can properly stay on during full boost.
