Default Questoin on Silicone couplings

Say that i buy a 2.5" silicone coupling. Will i be able to use it on a 2.25" tube? The reason i'm asking this is because my intercooler has 2.5 openings but my i/c tubing is only 2.25" . I'm afraid that it won't hold correctly. Plus those reducer silicone connecters are like 4 times more expensive. grrr Anyone have any insight on this matter?

and make sure to use the T-clamps which are more expensive but better

go to your local muffler shop, they can "strecth" out your 2.25" to 2.5" , just an inch where the piping will connect..
give them 5 bucks on the side..
