I have the one I took off but all of my parts stores can not match it with anything and want to sell me a flex hose. Any help would be appreciated.

Make a pipe out of pvc tubing in the shape you need then take that to a muffler shop with a tubing bender and have the pvc pipe duplicated in exhaust tubing of the correct diameter. If there is a metal supply store near you you could buy thicker wall tubing that would last longer. A tubing bender in good condition can bend 1/8" wall thickness tubing no sweat.

It is a reproduction of the factory-correct upper radiator hard-pipe assembly. | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 564 Shop Shark | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 564 | Did all of them come with the hard-pipe assembly, or was that a heavy-duty equipment option?
And what years was that available?
