I'm sure they would take out most of the kink, but the emission hoses make some pretty sharp turns. I was actually thinking about making all my emission lines hard lines, then putting the nice red/blue Steele hose covers on um.

i read about cloth tape on it but the little l shaped one on mine is shot. has gash holes.
the littlest one is the one i have to fix- need it for smogging for sure.

Hit up the local salvage yards in your area and hopefully you can find a luv that has these hoses, search these forums, there are a lot of ppl that take the smog off, maybe they still have some parts and pieces laying around.

Sometimes your local parts store has a bin in the back with many misc. hoses in it. They might let you go dig through it to see if you can make one work for you.

This is what I've done in the past. You may need to trim off part of a hose to get what you want, or take two different hoses and couple them together. You get the idea.

I'll take a hard line set up for the emission hoses if you are going to attempt a "kit"...,
