Honestly, I lucked out that it matched my TB. When I had the TB done years ago, I opted for a candy apple red powdercoat, and these fuel rails that I just did a couple weeks ago just so happened to match Too bad the rest of the reds don't match, but oh well. I'm going for functionality at this point...I'll tidy up the details later.

nice FR's MeentSS02

I'm looking at possibly getting some scorpions in the future just because I want to do some blue trim in the engine bay... course I could always just get any set and have them powder coated...

now I just need to find some 42# injectors that are blue

I'm running factory LS2 rails with -8an lines in, -6an line return (LS3 motor in C5).

Where do you get the adaptors to go from factory push on fittings to AN?

I bought some -8an steel weld-on fittings, and drilled a 5/8" hole on the back about 1/4" deep. The LS2 rails are 5/8" O.D., so they squeezed on and stayed in place, Dave's Engine Machining in Newark did the precision TIG welding ($40). The first pic shows the 'shock aborber' inside the cut-off end of the rails. The second pic you can sortof see the back of the weld on fittings drilled (fittings $5 each) and the ends that I cut off (using a dremel). Third pic shows the fitting on the burnished end of the rail.

Russel makes the push-connect fittings shown in that picture, and Aeromotive makes ones as well that are IMO nicer, but also way more pricey. I run all Aeromotive push-connects on mine...you can see one of them in one of my pics attached to the factory hard line coming into the engine bay. The clips are fluorescent green on mine...

It's cool that you pointed out the other fittings...I missed those in your pics for some reason. It definitely came out well, and looks factory.

When the injectors open and close, they cause pulsations, like the knocking in plumbing when you shut off a faucet in an old house. The LS1 rails flex, the LS2 rails are stiffer (good) but don't absorb the pulses (bad). The factory added the shock absorber thingie to the LS2 rails.

I also sliced open my LS1 rails (initially planned to put the fittings on those) and they have nothing inside them. I got the LS2 rails because the LS1 rails were ugly, and the LS2 rails were, uh, shiny.
