Unless there is a way to safely cut the original assembly and repair it with the proper size hose with the proper curve, I would not risk it.
Seldom can one of the factory assemblies be repaired.
But back to your question about hose quality, really impossible to tell. Used to be looking at the end, the better hoses had more reinforcing string, string all the way around about as close together as possible. The cheap hose would only have a few, spaced far apart.
