Default Cheap Billet rail!

I found that someone is selling the basic Professional Products Fuel rail on ebay for $50(20 of them). its the basic kit(10613) which doesn't seem to have the crossover hose. Where can you buy this crossover hose from and roughly how much would it cost? Anybody have experience with this? I'm getting a bare LS2 and would need a rail. I found one stock rail only and that was $60. So i'm thinking if I can get the connecting hose for 10-20 bucks I'll have something that looks nicer, any thoughts?


10613 Basic Fuel Rail Kit for LS2-2005-'06


The basic kit provides fuel rails, stainless mounting brackets and stainless mounting hardware. A stainless steel fitting is included that allows a connection to the stock fuel line. The Basic Kit is designed for the tuner who wants to combine his own various components with basic fuel rails.

The same person is selling the complete rail for $100. Let me rephrase the question then, can you get the front crossover hose for less than $50?

I called summit and they said with that the hose and fittings to make that crossover hose was going to be $42.50, for the extra $7.50 its worth it just to buy the kit where everything is done I guess. I went ahead and bought the $100 kit, $115.50 shipped. the part number is pfs-10614.

Every time I go to buy part I go to google shopping (along with some other sites) and search the part number to see who has it the cheapest. I've saved a lot money doing so.

I have used the cheaper rails a few times and every time they have leaked at the fittings for me. No matter if I used Teflon Tape/ paste or whatever even after multiple attempts. In the future if I have to use them again I will install the fittings and then TIG them in before fuel ever gets near the rails.

Watch the hold down brackets, I've seen 2 pairs (mine and a friend's) leak because the adjustable brackets allowed the rails to move around a bit. Not good.

Also make sure your injector o-rings are correct if you're mixing LS1/LS2 parts.
