yeah it WILL twist the lines. I looked at my fuel filter. The OEM one... bent. it was cocked at like a 45* angle front how hard I had to push to break the rusty seal. i had to use my legs to push it. It was a pain, and I can max out the machines at school with multiple reps. It was on there GOOD lol

like said.... new hose + fittings = happy filter fun time. BEST mod ever LOL

um... one small problem - is the fuel line that you put the rubber hose on and clamped it flared or anything?

if not, under pressure (40psi +) it may eventually come off while driving...
