Default I installed my SFS DV Relocation hose yesterday.....

Here is a picture with the hose installed. I trimmed 1-1/8" off the lower end for a perfect fit.

IMO you have to pull the battery and the battery box for the access needed. This is a "before" picture showing the 5 mounting points for the battery box. The 2 torx screws closest to the headlight are tough to get to. I loosened the headlight to give me enough room to get to them.

This shot shows the battery box mounting holes.

Battery re-installed. The DV relo hose fits perfectly up the side of the battery box without actually touching.

Everything back together. I still have to trim the DV hose and relocate the actual DV. Maybe later today.

MUCH thanks to MCPaudiTT for coordinating this group buy. Mike is a pleasure to deal with.

Look good, but why didn't you relocate the DV?

Default Ran out of time and more importantly.... UPS tracking says I'll have my Greddy on Tuesday ;-)

I'll wait till then so I can trim the hose just right.

Looks Great, Tony! Color seems a perfect match with the Samco.

Thanks Mike. The color is really close. I wouldn't say exact. Thanks again for all you have done!

Color is so close to the SAMCO red that I don't think anybody will notice. Works great.

Thanks! :-D I'm not into exterior bling at all. Not sure why I went nuts under the hood.
