flexible hose to recirculate BOV?
 
I'm looking for a flexible hose to recirculate a blow off valve.

I bought some SFS hose which is pictured with some tight looking bend radius but it really isn't that flexible.

any one tried samco xtraflex?

other options?

that is very similar to what I'll end up with. while the sfs stuff I bought will do a bend like that -I was worried that it would "spring" load and fatigue the blowoff valve fittings and pipe work. the spring in the sfs hose is very strong and the hose prefers to be straight. it would take about 2lbs of weight to hold the hose in that shape.

can the samco do a tighter bend and how stiff would you describe the hose as?

I used some flexible radiator hose . Not great for looks but does the job nicely

They will not crack or split. They are good quailty and can withstand a good amount of heat. As usual with Samco they are great quailty. See Charles Hill for good pricing on the hose kit.
