I figure you'll have a hard time keeping those lines from getting roasted that run across the manifold.

I put about 3 or 4 TIGHT rings of electrical tape over top of the plac I was going to cut. Then used a grin to make the cut. I dabbed a little bit of motor oil inside the rubber part of the hose and the fitting was easier to slide on. I used 2 adjustable wrenches to tighten them. The rest is elbow grease. Mine didn't really get scratched up . Between all my fuel lines and catch can lines it got a lot easier after a while. Hope that helps

The back line for sure won't get messed by heat. If anything it's the front one. And I tried to bend it away from my mani.

same concept as zip ties along with vasoline...

wrap the end up tightly with the electric tape until it compresses- then put it on. this is what i did.

btw, summit (i think) makes a little tool for it if it becomes too hard.

thats why its very important to try to get it on the first couple tries because after that, the wires start popping out more and more in which case it gets harder and harder. pita i know
