If it is smooth the whole way and there isn't gaps in the PVC where the sections joined, you should be just fine, and the actual difference I highly doubt would be noticeable. But that's just me

If you mean it is just a short ram "L" coming off the TB, when the car warms up you will gain power with a true CAI because it will not be sucking in heatsoaked air from right in front of the engine.
