If you have a bit of spare length you can send bend it.
Plenty of google and youtube examples but most techniques mess up one end.

   I have a new stainless thermostat housing pipe which looks like it
   should work just fine.   Well, that's a matter of opinion.....  It
   apparently is not an exact copy of the original.   It fits on the
   engine just fine, but the outlet where it connects to the pressure tank
   is pointing off into another dimension.  If I installed enough rubber
   hose, it would work......problem is that it would be crooked.....and
   I'm not into crooked.....then the pressure tank needs to be crooked,
   and the connection to the lower pipe is crooked......and so on and so
   on......
   SO, I seek a shop with the ability to tweek this sucker just a little
   bit at the 90 bend. I need it to be about an 88 or 89 degree bend so
   that it parallels the valve cover instead of heading off for the sail
   panel!
   I can't rotate it on the two mounting bolts as it is already up against
   the dipstick tube.
   Next choice, is notch it and weld it up again......not my preference
   either....but may need to go this way.......
   Lemmeno!!!!
   Thanks!
