Manipulate file path for output using split

I have a file path 

e:\pst\Section\RMS\user\\

final output needs to be Section/user

Currently using 

$result.filepath = $pst.FilePath.Split('\')[2..4] -join '/'

but that gives me 

Section/RMR/User

How can I manipulate the split to only pull 2 and 4 to equal Section/User?

You have an error in your example:

$pst = 'e:\pst\Section\RMS\user\'
$result.filepath = $pst.FilePath.Split('\')[2..4] -join '/'
$result.filepath
Section/RMS/user

Should be:

$pst = 'e:\pst\Section\RMS\user\'
$result.filepath = $pst.FilePath.Split('\')[2,4] -join '/'
$result.filepath
Section/user

Note the comma instead of the range operation.
