Default Speedinc. fuel line mod. Simple swap?

Looking into these fuel lines to clean up the engine bay but as I'm looking at the pic I notice that there is only 2 fuel lines but when I look in the engine bay there are 3. Is one line eliminated? Are 2 the return line and 1 goes to the fuel rails? What am I missing here?

correct. The swap is easy. I made up my own kit, but its just like speed incs. It makes the engine bay look 100x better IMO

Youll see it all when installing the kit. I just put a filter on the end of the evaps hard line under the car.

if you take off the evap it will throw a code and the filter I used was just a small spector cone filter from autozone. Just popped it on the end of the hardline under the car.

Rob94hawk-It goes through the inner fender well on the driver side, you can cut it off right in there (a black plastic piece holds in all the lines) and put a filter on it. Or do what i did and follow it all the way back to the tank and put the filter on back there. But trust me when you get the inner fender out it becomes very obvious.

ThorsLT1- There are no proven power gains that i have ever heard of, it mearly burns off gases that build up inside the tank.

Yes they are pretty common.....Just go in and look in the "help" section..... I cut one big hole when I did mine....Either way works fine....

Yea once you get under the car to take the old lines off you with have 2 lines with actual clips 1 is a fuel pressure side and the other is a return....the 3rd line which is the evap will have a plastic union ...separate the hard line from the stock plastic line and put a little cheap filter on it..... Very simple...

No I don't think you will see any gains with it....Just look MUCH nicer then those hideous factors lines....and there is no risk of them becoming pinched or brittle like the factory line....
