anyone as **** as me and looked into improving the way the bypass hose is on the 5.2? One of the areas I want to improve on my motor... Rest of my hoses are stainless flex hoses so a braided hose there would look out of place imo... at moment considering putting a stainless pipe there ( already have, just would need to have it flared and get fittings) or am wondering if a coolflex big block chev bypass hose would work?

Agree!

It is not visible. Best thing if you really wanted is to get Stainless Steel Braided Hose universal fit. Tons of places to order it www.summitracing.com or www.jegs.com

Or get a new/stock BP hose and place the Stainless Steel Braided sheathing over it to brighten up the look.
