Just wondering if they collapse. I want to run 2.5" pipes for my FMIC and the cooler I decided to go with only comes in 3". I would have to reduce it down to 2.5. Any problem coming straight off the IC to pipe with a reducer?

it'll be just fine doing that especially if you butt the 2.5" pipe right up to the 3" inlet/outlet or at least fairly close. use at least 3-ply silicone reducers, they're alot stiffer than rubber connectors.
if you go with the heavy duty silicone reducers you wont have a problem. i run em on my turbo setup and they hold to 15psi. find the nice ones that are blue on the outside and red inside. ebay has em
I even have a cheap 2 ply reducer that is holding up to 20 psi. I would have bought a nicer one, but it was 2.75 to 2.5 which is an oddball size. I had to take what I could get.
I didn't buy mine here, but I bought my tubing from them. They have one of the nicest selections of reducers that I've seen:
