Intercooler pipe to clear stock air box?

Does anyone know of an easy solution for an intercooler hard pipe or flexi hose that clears the stock airbox housing? It’s a greddy intercooler if that makes a difference? The hard pipe that came with the intercooler kit fouls the airbox.
I can probably fabricate one but would rather buy off the shelf if possible.

cheers

My one prior was an ARC hardpipe with BOV which fitted fine and cleared the stock air box.

Got a Greddy hardpipe on mine now which clears but If I remember correctly I did modify the hardpipe that runs through the wing to give more of an angle.

Thanks Rob, mine looks identical to that pipe but the angles aren’t quite tight enough, I will see what I can do, maybe even a slightly longer silicone sleeve from the hole in the wing will make a difference 👍🏻

I used the original rubber pipe to clear the airbox, cut the hard pipe from the cooler to this pipe, under the car.. 

Been running for many years without an issue.

This post should help.
