Took mine straight underneath the throttle body with a piece of an old coolant tube i had cut up then tied it all together with high pressure fuel line clamps and flame resistant goodyear hose coupled with a stainless 1/4 -3/8 bard coupling...looks pretty sweet but everyone may not have all this junk laying around
