Question CPE fmic, couplers, leaks...

I've been getting some leaks here and there, and if you have the CPE kit, you know how there are some squirley bends and the couplers that came w/ the kit are kinda skimpy. I was thinking of buying some 4 ply ones, but also longer... the CPE couplers are 3" long, but just to have more wiggle room, I was thinking of getting some 3.5" or 4". I don't want any leaks w/ BT. I'm using all t-bolts right now and as they are wide, they take up some real estate on the coupler. I'm holding boost okay now, but IDK what's gonna happen w/ BT and more boost.

I'm also running my ebcs in int mode, and I have the hose compressor housing on the KO4 just capped off w/ a bolt + zip tie. Ditto for my BCS FS. So there could be tiny leaks there... I don't know, but I don't really care as that shit is going bye bye soon.

What do you guys think? Any harm in running 3.5" or 4" long coupers on the CPE kit? As in, more prone to leaking, much less likely, or it shouldn't matter? I haven't seen longer than 3" but saw some 4 ply 3" x 1 foot, so I could buy a few of those and cut them. IDK... don't want to waste loot I don't have.

TIA
