I think a better way of doing it is to use your existing Hi-press Hilux steel tube to the box and rotate it to go forward and easy bend down beside the box, then at the bottom, a bend so it faces backwards pointing to under the V6 oil filter. To that, get a fitting braized to it to couple to a fitting on the V6 pump flex tube you already should have. No extra pipes are required. I think that's how I did mine and it's still good after 12 years, except the Comm hose perished from the heat, but that was easily replaced.

Just flexible stuff with the correct fittings on it?

Same issue for me

Sounds like luxadore wants some Power Steering Hose BLING.

The longer the better it looks!
