1991 honda accord bypass inlet hose
1991 Honda Accord EX-R
2.2-litre four-cylinder
I had a leaking Bypass Inlet Hose (or Heater Bypass Hose) and bought one online. When I put it on I found the hose kinked. I wasn't comfortable about the kink so I assumed I was sent the wrong hose and returned it. But the same thing happens with the second hose. So I returned it and ordered a hose directly from Honda.
When the hose came I again have exactly the same problem.
Those should be a 5/8" hose and 14" long.. all of the hoses were exactly that size.
The original hose had no kinks.
My question, is the kink going to cause a problem? Or, what I was thinking, since all the hoses I ordered, kink, can I just buy a length of 5/8" heater hose and use it. I think a piece about 16 - 17" would be enough not to kink.
I included a picture of the hose to show where the kink is.

I thought about that, but wouldn't that make the kink tighter?
I do have another hose that will go on, but it's 18" long (4" longer then the hose is suppose to be) that didn't kink when I tried it. But I don't know if I can use it or not, because it's longer. I can find nothing that says I can or can't use it.

I don't see what the difference would be, but everything I read and found online, says it should not be more then 14"... I am going to put a longer length on and as long as there is no kinks, I think it'll be okay..
