Has anyone here tried installing a '85 CA air box in their W126 300SD?

Yesterday I picked up an air box at the PnP from a '85 300SD with all of the necessary hoses and brackets. The only hang up that I see is modifying or replacing the hose that goes from the turbo inlet to the box. You can't really cut it because there won't be a flat surface left for a clamp to grasp. Is there a stiff, yet flexible hose that custom shops use that I could purchase and do the necessary modifications on? Thanks
