Cyclone intake hose?

I'm having difficulty locating a proper size hose for the throttle body. The hose that comes off the blow off valve (still stock) is 2" while the cyclone TB is 2.5"
Am I overlooking the plainest of things?

Or, are they really hard to find?
(I'd suppose I need a reducer from 2.5" to 2". Home Depot came up short, as did AutoZone and such other crap.)

Thanks!

Also, can I mickey-mouse an intake hose myself? (Mind you, I'm no fabricator, and have very little metal skills).

My guess is that it has a 2g TB elbow. Hard piping may be the best solution.

Well, one option if keeping stock rubber intercooler piping:
1G TB elbow. 2G TB elbows are rather large and best suited to larger piping setups.

Bought a 2.5" into 2" reducer off a fleabay. Will see how it goes.
