Heres what I did, I used 3.5" stainless exhaust pipe and made the cuts at a 15 deg angle. I'll send you a PM with a link for some silicone fittings. (non sponsor).

Here's what I ran on my T/A. I think it was 3.5" (or maybe 4") OD metal exhaust piping that I cut to fit and then coupled it all together.

Default Speed Density intake tube
I grabbed 2 4" Silicone hose connectors. In the middle I have a piece of 4" aluminum pipe. Smallest part of the intake tract on my 402 with a FAST 90 is the 90mm TB. The SLP lid is 92mm.

On my 454 I will be going FAST LS7 with a 102mm TB. I'll use a piece of 4" hose all the way to a 98mm lid.

I used a piece of PVC Pipe & covered it with a Baker hose. I used a bead of silicone to attach the pvc pipe to the air lid.
