Car runs great after the "hose replacement plan". However I have one more "last "hose" to replace before I add Dex Cool coolant. Still running distilled water.
The hose I am looking for is in the picture. It is a simple 90 degree ell. Part #7 in the attached diagram seems to be the correct location however the shape is shown wrong? Could be the diagram is used for numerous variants and the radiator fitting was repositioned on my year? Dealer is not too helpful for confirmation and I was quoted $80 for such a simple hose. I'm tempted to remove it and just go to the local auto parts store to find a generic hose however I'm worried the diameter of the hose is not too standard.

I have XR837411 as the part number and yes that one is expensive for some odd reason?
I paid $63 back in 2011 when I got mine. Same as another much bigger inter-cooler hose. But mine was more cork screwed than a simple 90 degree hose. Yours does look like a simple 90 degree bend.
Are you using the last 6 numbers of your VIN to order? Maybe a running change?

Ok thanks. I made a visit to the dealer and they suggested XR837411 based on my vin. Did yours have a part number of XR837411 for the more complex hose? The listed price for this simple hose was $116. They did give me a 10% discount. We'll see what part actually arrives.
We'll it turns out I already had a new XR837411 hose in my garage and it is the double curved variant. I called the dealer back and inquired about the other hose style associated with other VIN range and they said no longer supplied. So for $25 I picked up a generic 19mm elbow in silicone. Works just fine after trimming. Now I was finally able to fill with Dex Cool and conclude my hose replacement plan.
