Message	I recently purchased a set of silicone hoses. All seem to fit great and look the part except the driver side turbo outlet. When I hold up the OEM hose and then the silicone, they don't even look like they have the same bends. The silicone looks bent way too much which adds a level of difficulty to get it to sit straight on my pipe. So, then I go looking at all brands, such as Stillen, CZP, Samco, Z1, etc...and notice that all of them seem to be shaped the same, and in my opinion, none of them look like they retain the stock form. Am I wrong here? I clearly see lots of people with Z1 and other brands connected. So, I know they obviously fit, but just curious if anyone else thought that one hose was a bit off in the design or if everything was peachy?
