Default steam vent tube questions

on my car i have the 4-1 crossover steam tube from each corner of the heads taped in to my upper radiator hose on my build. it was just capped for the longest time but i just made a adapter for the line to get routed in to my upper radiator hose.

any problems with it that way? should i have it go else were?

If I am understanding your description correctly, your setup sounds like the setup that Kurt Urban Performance makes and sells out of -AN hardware. That setup envisions a routing terminating into the upper radiator (which is also the OEM setup my LS6). If do not have an upper radiator input port, the upper radiator hose as an alternative should work the same - assuming your connection can handle the handful of psi required.

The upper hose is the one that the coolant goes back to the radiator right
