Need help now....

Installed my Helix intercooler pipes yesterday but they sent the wrong size silicon connectors. It won't fit from the manifold the the beginning of the upper intercooler pipe. I tried to use the stock but it didn't fit right and blew off. I need a necked down 4" piece from about 3" to 2 1/2". Where would I go to find something that would work on a Saturday? Can I use any kind of high pressure tubing?
Thanks

I would say any high pressure tubing is fine. go to a farm tractor/semi truck parts place, or a truck stop and pick up some hoses. They have lots there, and have helped me out of a similar situation. then go to NAPA parts store, and get you some "T" clamps to hold it on, your problem is SOLVED!!! Good luck.

Another problem, I just found 3" high pressure heating hose. But the beginning of the upper intercooler pipe is smaller. Can I just tighten the $hit out of the clamp to minimize leaks? Also is air blowing into the manifold or out?
Thanks
