  I am willing to stand corrected but I believe the
wire is to help the hose hold its shape, i.e. not crimp thereby blocking the
passage when bent.
  One trick I have used in bending is to put it on the
manifold (or whatever) when the manifold is off the engine (i.e. attach both
ends).  Then reinstall the manifold on the engine.  It gives you more
leverage and means you don't have to get a bent end on, which can be
difficult.  Of course I was putting on new manifolds at the time.  If
I had to take them off just to put on the hose I might feel differently. 
(I was also dealing with short lengths of four inch hose, which are very
difficult to bend the 90 degrees I needed.)

      Ok guys.  Need some feedback....
       
      Anyone recently replace their exhaust hose on their V6?  The
      hose that was on mine has proven to be too short.  I went to
      West Marine and was advised it was the non-wire type and that
      they could order it but it would be a week.  When
      questioned about an alternative source they sent me to another marine
      shop but they didn't carry that particular size.  My buddy Jon
      mentioned a local hose dealer so I called them.  They have the wire
      version on hand but not the non-wire.
       
      I might be under the misimpression that I can't use the wired version
      as it will be too stiff to bend the 60degrees or so to meet up to the
      manifold.  What have you guys used when replacing your hoses??
       
      Thanks
