Why do all the Kia water necks I could find tilt up?

On the left is the 99/00 factory neck. With the BEGI reroute spacer it hits the firewall. On the right is from a Kia Sephia from a pick n pull. There was a 2nd sephia with the same looking neck.
I also have one from a protege and while it doesn't his the firewall, it takes a larger hose than factory.

Hmm. my Kia neck looks like Clay's. I got mine new from a dealer, P/N 0K24715172A. I specified an '01 Sephia to them when I ordered it, so looks for cars in that range.
I also tried a Protege neck before that, and while the angle was correct, the diameter of the neck was so small that it sort of flopped around inside the hose. I can see that saboteur just clamped his down extra-snug, but I wasn't super happy with the fitment on mine. Here's a comparison, Miata 1.6 on the left, Protege on the right:
The OD of the Kia neck was just a tiny bit larger than the original Miata part, but with a dab of silicone grease the hose fit over it just fine.
