The L98 hose wont fit my car. I had to get the LT1 hose and I had to that along time ago when I first changed it. The top hose fits fine. Napa is unsure why this is but the L98 hose is a good 1 1/2 inches short. Anyone know why? Napa said they had to order the "performance package" hose kit for the car...

There are 3 different lower hoses for the L98.
One has a huge kink in it, one has a medium kink, other has basically no kink. The kink is to clear the lower frame supports that were on convertible and Z51 cars. But these later became standard at some point. Many of the parts stores have the hoses listed for Convertible and Coupe. Buy the convertible one. |

Is the one for vert the one that has the most "kink" or clearance for the cross bar frame support? I never knew there were 3, I always cut about an 1" off them so they didn't rub on the cross frame support. I always just bought them from GM (jobber price) but recently they tell me the lower hose has been discontinued, so in the future I will have to go elsewhere. |
