Cutting Pettit smic pipe?
Can I cut the small portion of the piping that is attached to the pettit smic intercooler? I am not sure of the material and little afraid it might crack the whole pipe.

It's aluminum - no reason you couldn't. Cutting with something that would insure a clean, straight cut, like a bandsaw, is a good way to go.

Basically... got the pettit intercooler without a duct. So went into that horrible xs intercooler duct group buy. I know they are not exactly the same but their fin dimensions are about right and it does fit. The duct kind of pushs the intercooler further back hence why I need to cut some of it off. I can't just shave some of it off the duct because I have the efini y-pipe so the intercooler sitting by itself in the engine is all tilted and funky looking. It almost rest right on top of the fans.. With the duct in place and with the intercooler piping corrected it looks like it will fit nicely and clear everything.
p.s.
Thanks for putting up the eibach installation guide on ur site.. I just used it yesterday .

Hrm... but if I cut the efini pipe wouldn't it not hold as well because the notch it has for the coupling? Should I go for a 2.75 or 3 inch coulping?
