Blaster B1 long exhaust hose to waterbox curve

[ErieOne]

Are there any tips or tricks to eliminate the slight kink where the exhaust hose curves up and over into the waterbox? I've tried different hoses and it's always done this. Doesn't seem to be affecting power (or is it and I've never known)? Always seemed like a stupid design to me. Not looking to eliminate the waterbox.

More hose clamps to keep it round.

Appreciate the suggestion! Where are you guys finding SS hose clamps that are solid metal mostly all the way around vs mostly the notched track for the fastener? Here's what I found but not liking how it's notched all the around & having that possibly cut into the hose. Maybe I'm overthinking and should just strap this baby on and ride??

@JetManiac has 2.5 inch clamps if that's the size you're looking for. They're not serrated, they're like OEM good clamps. T bolt clamps are also amazing if you have the space for them.

These are HD clamps that Yamaha uses on oem 61x and 62t exhaust couplers. We have them for sized for couplers and for exhaust hoses.
