I've only ever seen 3" Ram ducts.
I believe you can get smaller diameter topspin pre cleaners though - I have seen some small ones on boom lifts etc.

Mate Im no help to you with the snorkel top `
But if you go down to your plumbing TRADE store and ask for a 2 1/2 to 3"
PVC Plumbquick adapter you will get what you need to connect the 2 togther
and look the part.

I bought a 2.5inch to 3 inch silicone adapter from supercheapy that would do the job and not bend at 100km/h I'd imagine. Never ended up needing it for my application but it would suit you. If you were in townsville I'd give it to you.
