A BB barracuda apparently is very rare. We had never run into one or at least any owners that purchased a radiator solved that hose issue. That being said, now that we see that the outlet could be over more, we're going to update our production and include this mod in future releases.
Unfortunately all that takes a while and hence the reason we are offering a refund instead of a replacement.
We're sorry you have to go through this but you've now helped future BB A-body owners be able to use the OEM hose in the future.
