In most cases longer tubes create a bigger pressure drop and more restriction causing the turbo to work harder to produce the same amount of boost.

exactly. Try blowing thru a straw 2" long, versus a straw 3' long. Which is harder to blow thru? Yet EVERYONE constantly buys ICs with like 7 tubes 36" long.. i dont get it.

Default Pipes
I sell mandrel bends in aluminum and steel that you can cut to fit your need, you will have to weld them together but they make the job much cleaner and smoother. I also do custom installs call for details.
