Default question for the lovefab guys about re routing

Ok guys hears my question, when you remove the oil cooler and have to bypass it, there is a coolant nipple on the block where it orig went to. now with the GT1 manifold the mani runs offly close to this nipple. what did you guys do to re route this im thinking of a 90 degree rubber hose and shoot around the block, or can I remove that fitting and put a an fitting in its place?

In the GT1 kit the nipple that comes out the block is usually modified from Cody. What Cody does is cut about an inch out of it and then re-welds it to shorten the nipple. I hope that helps.

Are you using your stock one or are you using the one Cody sent with the kit?

Take the nipple with you to your local autoparts store and match up a hose to fit.
