I was also considering a 3-3.5" 90* silicone hose and squeezing it thru the duct opening so I don't have to cut it. It should flatten enough without pancakeing and starving the intake of air.
The only issue I see with that is that the hood is so light you would have to push it shut pretty hard and it may not sit even... looking at my setup, I wish they did the cuts differently and made it more aesthetically appealing. I guess I can save for the RKs in the meantime.
