you could cobble something with exhaust pipe and some "off brand" silicone fittings.

Only 4 and 5 ply expensive silicone won't suck itself in, as I've tried it. Exhaust pipe clamped onto the blower didn't work for me either, the pipe came off when I launched the car and the impeller ate the clamp. Bob
