Default Problem installing TMIC (need silicone hose supplier locally)

So I went to install my MRT TMIC and the silicone hose is about 2" too short from the exhaust outlet.
Who sells silicone hose locally? I need about a 5" straight section (2" ID) and run a coupler joining the 90 deg bend.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm assuming you mean the turbo compressor outlet, not exhaust outlet?

Have you considered just getting some 2" ID aluminum pipe (thin wall), cutting the silicone hose, and just clamping it in to extend it?

I plan on doing the pipe trick anyways, just futher away from the compressor outlet. Thanks to Paul and James on the local hookup.
