that works-they are like $10 each, so nearly $40 for all 4 ends OR reuse the stockrs like i did =)

I bet it's nice to know you have something totally unique, you probably put a lot of your own man hours into that air box. Good work man!! :D

Dave and i went back and forth for quite a while over what color/material to use on that kit. I gotta say, the mirrored items look fantastic and really brighten it up under the hood. Thanks for the post, bud!

they were not. I bought about 15' of 8AN and 9' of 6AN + a bunch of spectre faux end clamps. Had to measure and cut each hose. Getting the throttle body ones was the biggest PITA. B/c it goes from like 1/4" hard line up to 1/2" hard line so i had to shim the smaller line with a rubber hose, trimmed down to let the 8AN line fit around it. When my car comes back, i'll shoot a photo of what I mean. I should have done the TB by pass at that time, in retrospect.

Hay Jaison.......seeing how you might not need those lines for a little while, you might want to let some of your buddys Borrow them for a show or 10 :lmao:

Jegs has them.
Yes, sort of-in retro spect, i should have just bought the fuel line AN adapter, but I was being hasty, so i reused the stock fuel line adapters buy cutting the orginal plastic hoses off of them, then clamping the new lines on their solid ends.

Hey man, just so you dont get jacked by someone, powder will not hold up on exhaust, your gonna need ceramic coating. Dont let anyone tell you any diff. I know this post is a little old, I just saw it and figured Id throw it out there.

thank you. The engine i got was a used Ls1. an 02 with 90k miles (my car has 90k on it too). If it wasn't the summer and If i had more patience, i would have built it up and even had the engine bay painted. But i just wanted my damn car back and tossed the cheapest thing I could find in there. It needs a tune-but i'm putting a lot of money in the Girls Calendar right now so as long as it runs i'm happy.

Hey TSS, wonder if your company precut and assembled the braided steel lines for our cars, if people would order them from you, being that you know all the measurements, ins and outs, I know I would!!!! Just an idea!!! :yum:

hmmmmmmm :thinkin

Might be a good winter project for me to take up again. LOL. My wife will be so pissed "what do you mean you have to take it apart again???"

Definitely don't want to cause any marital problems, that's for sure! I know if all I had to do was buy the braided steel line kit from someone who had them pre-cut, ends installed, even perhaps in different colors, blue, red, black or maybe even chrome powdercoated with directions telling me, OK the 2 1/2 foot length line goes here, the 2 foot line goes there, and all I had to do was get a wrench, undo the ugly, and install the sweet,....man, what a dream that would be....instant coolness!!!!:yourock::cool2::drool::notworthy::che ers::cool::happy:

Your talking about Fuel Rail Covers and you can get them at the dealer for a decent price
Think they are like $80

I don't know where he's talking about getting them from the dealer for $80. The only place I've ever seen them is from here:

http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/fuel-rail-covers.html

But my question is, if you have a Camaro, why would you get fuel rail covers that say Corvette? Why not get custom covers that say Camaro Z28 LS1 or something like that? Would you put a Corvette emblem on the back of your Camaro? I wouldn't do that any more than I would put a Ferrari emblem on the back of my T/A. I love Ferrari's and Lamborghini's, but putting any of these emblems on my T/A would cheapen it and make others think I was an idiot...You can get anything you want put on the covers in almost any color you want. I saw one the other day on a "Show your engine bay pics" site that had clear, mirrored plexi as the lettering, and it looked really nice. Here again, just my opinion....

some people want to do it themselves. I've painted or polished everything I've added to my car.

Me too. I've polished my brake lines coming off the distribution block, front surface of the heads, airconditioning lines, receiver-dryer and would like to get my pulleys chromed, get braided steel lines, chrome valve covers, then cover it all up with fuel rail covers!!! Makes sense to me!!! I almost forgot, the line right behind the fan that connects the radiator to the engine, I would like to chrome it as well.

I actually put my fuel rail covers on to protect my engine from rather than just looks. After talking to someone who had problems with #6, I looked after washing my car and it puddles down around the injectors. Apparently that's common.

After washing your car with the hood down, you get water puddling above cylinder #6? Man, you must use 1000psi water pressure!!!! On a more serious note, has your rear hood rubber compromised it's seal? Maybe I don't understand what you are saying...

That is a great idea :)
