Intake to turbo inlet ?

Does anyone make a better option to connect intake to turbo inlets besides the accordion corrugated plastic? I installed Infinity turbo inlets today and that piece just looks out of place, also snapped a picture of my turbo fins.. what do you guys think? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did the accordion tubes come with the Infiniti intakes? That does look janky. Are those Infiniti turbo inlets as well?

The Turbo Inlets are Infinity I just removed the decal. The intakes are RK Auto front mounts. The accordion is from the OEM intake box. It’s making me consider just getting a full Infinity setup or even Eventuri.

The accordion is there for the slight movement of engine under power.

Infinity intakes remove the accordian pipe and look the best I reckon...
