I have done this on some apps. Perfect example are on the Syclone/Typhoon trucks as the nozzle goes on the out of the IC which is inches from the throttle blade. No issues.
It can't hurt to move it back… and may work better, but air speed through the pipe being what it is.. it may serve no benefit. If anything the pipe may offer better support to the nozzle itself that drilling through the hose.
