Smog Pump Tube And New X-pipe

[bmo37]

awhile back I bought a new catted x-pipe from ebay, looks great well made but there is a discrepency cause the tube that connects the smog pump to the cats is facing in another direction other than the stock one. Aside from this the tubes are different outer diameters so it doesn't fit at all.

My question is does anyone have any ideas on what to do, I want to retain the smog pump to help keep the car street legal and cool the exhaust. I tried using high temp heater hose but that doesn't last long when you have constant fire breathing down there.

Is there some sort of flexible exhaust tube anyone sells? thanks

High-temp silicone hose is available in various sizes at some places like NAPA. Might give a length of that a try with a couple of hose clamps...?

I had to cut my smog tube to the cats years ago when I needed to get the exhaust off. High temp silicone hose works great, it's been on there for probably four years now.
