Does the hose need to be rigid tubing like in the pic or can it be flex hose?

Mr. Gasket makes flexible stainless steel hose (G-Flex). Summit and JEG's sell it.

I used those Mr gasket stainless hoses on my 01 wrangler a year ago and I'm still happy with them. As an added benefit, My coolant runs 10 degrees cooler thanks to the "Fin" design of the hose!!! It's a quality product.
