Default installed intake spacer and egr pipe is too short

I replaced the GT intake with a ported cobra as well as a 3/8" spacer. When I started to boltthe upper up I realized that the return pipe between the EGR vavle is now too short and preventing me from bolting it back up. Is there an easy replacement for this or do you have to make your own?

thanks in advance...

you will need to shorten the EGR tube slightly for this to work

all you really need is a tubing bender, flair tool, and a trip to home depot

x2. It would be great to weld one myself but that is not an option for me.
