you can take your rubber rad hose to a muffler shop and have them mandrel bend you a piece to the contours of the rubber hose. even stainless?

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.
