I am trying to clear up a few issues on the passenger side.

First, the EGR line from the headers to the EGR, I can't get it to line up. The stock piece doesn't seem to work. It either routes directly into the two other emissions lines (one from the heads, and one from the mid pipe), or routes so far outside of those lines that it is too far away from the EGR. I tried using a high temp line directly off the header, but it didn't react so well to the header's extreme heat. How do you connect up the EGR?

Second, there is a problem with the mid pipe emissions line. That connects up to a "T" fitting with some high temp line. But the high temp line needs to make a number of tight bends to go from horizontal to vertical. And it hits on my header (burned a hole right through the high temp line). How do you clear this issue?

Finally, and of littlest importance at this point, is the AC line. That runs right next to one of the header pipes (like within 1/8 inch) How do you get some more clearance on this one?

Thanks for any help.

The EGR line you might have to take to a machine shop and have them extend the middle a little. I had to because I had a 3/8" spacer under my intake. The easiest way to do the high temp line that goes back to the H pipe is to use the stock pipe for the piece that connects then goes down below the car. When it is under the car you cut the pipe right next to the side of the H pipe. Then you run only like 2' of high temp pipe.

I actually cut my stock emissions feedback pipe near my passenger side collector and mounted the pipe to the floor using a self tap screw and a metal loop. Then I ran about a 2' length of heater hose, instead of 2" of line up next to the T-5 and into the X's nipple pipe. I guess this is the key. I thought that going right next to the BBK X-pipe and jumping 2" would have been too much of an angle and I felt that it would cut off air flow. By starting the hose by the collector and running it down into the BBK X-pipe there is no kinking or collapsing of the hose. No clearance problems. Hose stays tight to the floor. Worked for me.
