The Suby at standard level
Default odd size 90 degree bend silicon pipe needed - 2.75" to 2"

So I'm replacing one front mount intercooler with another.
The old intercooler had 2.5" inlet/outlets and the new one has 2.75" ones (stupid me, didn't think to check that).

So on the driver's side I have a silicon 90degree bend which goes from 2.5" on the intercooler, and steps down to 2" for the pipe. Well it won't fit the new intercooler.

So what I'm after now is a 90 degree bend that steps down from 2.75" to 2".

I've never had to source these before so I'm asking if anyone knows if this beastie actually exists before I waste any more time searching.

Otherwise my fallback solution is to use a 90 degree bend going from 2.75" to 2.5" (found one of these). Then put a very small straight bit of 2.5" pipe and use a straight silicon piece that steps down from 2.5" to 2".
Ideally I'd like just the one 90degree bend to do the job though so I can avoid extra unnecessary clamps.
