will work fine, i would suggest bead rolling the ends just for extra security so they dont blow out of the coupler.

been done many times on turbo cars

Yeah good idea. Just for info, if you can find an AEM cai for cheap, they have a rolled edge on them at the end.

Don't forget to weld/plug the crankcase breather port shut.
