While putting my engine together today after pairing my exhaust manifold, I pulled the exhaust hose closer only for it to crumble and break. It was an older black pipe type.

In my research to find a replacement, I thought about a stainless welding one or just another black pipe.

I saw somewhere on here (can’t find it now) about a replacement hose from McMaster Carr.

Also thinking about one of these braided hoses as it would be an easy install due to being blue to be bent in place.

Anyone have any insights or experience on these?

What do you recommend?
