Default Bypass for the coolant line under intake? HELP!!

Does anyone know if there is a way to fashion some kind of bypass or something for the coolant line that runs under the intake on an LS1? I am installing a Fast 90 and having clearance issues so it has to come out, but I don't want to spend the $75 to by one from TSP or Ebay. Thanks for any help.

I don't think you can just bypass it completely. I don't understand why you have a high dollar intake but won't buy the kit you need to install it.

Honestly it is more that I don't want to wait for the part to come in....the car has been down for two weeks and I want to get it running and take it to the track this weekend. Figured if there is a way to rig it for now then I would do that.

I have the rear cross over ports blocked off and the front is crossed open, Use the LS6 intake cross over kit, It deleates the rear and only feeds the front.
Or take your stock pipe and cut the ends off and seal them with weld or epoxy and cut the Y out of the front that goes under the intake and have it welded up. Easy to do, If you cant fint some one to do it , send it to me and i can. Just pay for the shipping

What is the back line for if it can be removed? I have heard that it was an easy fix and it sounds like it is. The part that crosses under the front of the intake will not be a problem as far as clearance? Thanks again for the help!

if you get reading. there have been a few of us that have questioned the whole "delete" the rears or not. 7 and 8 cyl always are the first to go. what if it is cause of streem pocket back there?

so i bought 4 of these and then going to hook them all together.
