They already don't give you enough hose, but I lost four or five inches to a heat gun incident. The system, minus the ducting is a decently thought out install. The ducting is absolutely horrendous though. It could definitely be manifolded better imo, with the clips on the panel, they wouldn't have to change the whole case design either.

Off to the shop to see what I can do with it..
These diagrams can be helpful:

Mine had disintegrated, so IDK if I had that hairpin on the passenger side
You might be able to cheat and splice in a piece of rigid dryer vent or sewer pipe to get some length back.
I bought the hose set and I'm pretty sure I did every piece at least twice because I kept finding I had already used the piece I needed :-\
