Will this hose work with my existing clamp setup?

This hose is 2.50" bore, so it pairs with standard spring clamps or worm-drive clamps designed for that size. Check your current clamp diameter before ordering — if you're upgrading from smaller hose, you may need new clamps.

Is the 45-degree bend fixed, or can I adjust it?

The bend is pre-molded and fixed at 45 degrees. It's designed for common engine bay layouts, but if your routing needs a different angle, you'll need a custom hose or a different pre-bent angle.

Can I use this for coolant or other fluids?

Silicone hose handles coolant reliably. For other fluids, verify compatibility with the specific application — some oils and solvents can degrade silicone over time.
