Addicted CEG'er
I suppose I could, but then a portion of the intake will be permanently be attached to the frame. The tube I'm referring to also necks down in size. I believe it goes from 1.5" to 2.5? Can't remember off the top of my head. So if I did weld a tube there I would have to pick up a reducing 90° elbow. In addition to that I'm not too stoked about have a steel tube that can rust in my intake track
Look into exhaust reducing horns for exhaust. I believe flowmaster made the ones I've used and they're great. A little paint, or even cold galvanizing compound should leave you with no rust worries.

Something along these lines.
