High Temp exhaust and hoses

so ive went through two pieces of hose now. 1/2 Inch fuel line(only hose i happaned to have in car when it broke) and 1/2 inch High temp silicone tube. Need a solution.

84 -SE
13b with Racing beat header/presilencer

On my presilencer on my car i have the tube that feeds the exhaust pressure to the intake to open the 5th and 6th ports. Well that pipe was broke, so i ended up cutting the flange off of the presilencer so i could hook them together with a piece of rubber hose.

Well that worked great for about 3 years surprisingly. Well it finally broke yesterday. Found 1/2 fuel line in car, quick fix, lasted like 15 miles. Melted right through that. Bought high temp silicone hose that is supposed to be used on exhaust. Well that went right on through as well.

My car is really really loud now and i need a way to connect these 2 pipes w/o welding. Any help would be great

Make sure that your ignition is not too far retarded. Exhaust heat shouldn't be that bad...
