I am sorry to everyone in this discussion as I was not active on the site for a little while. There really is no way for me to prove that I made any adjustments to the lines. With that said, both hoses I received had 90 degree and 45 degree angles. I requested these AN fitting from GTM on the purchase order because their site stated 45 degrees on both ends which as another member who has their first kit stated it was hard to install with only 45 degree ends. I have spoken with TipsZ and Sam over the phone on the matter. I posted on the other thread with my oil cooler issue that I had 2 completely different length hoses than what their site describes. A 59" and 55". As was stated in the other thread the 55" hose I sent back was measured shorter than what they normally send in the kit however if I received two completely different hose lengths from the get go, than what are the normal lengths? There is no way for me to prove this true or incorrect. I hope that TipsZ's Z was not harmed at all and as I said before, there is no way for me to prove anything. The only thing I can do is apologize to TipsZ, which I have done over the phone with him, and Sam along with GTM.

hmm well i bought the gtm kit a while ago and it comes with 2 45's and 2 90's with no special order conditions. i believe it has been that way for almost half a year after someone did an install of it upside down and it hit the plastic under cover.

I think that when GTM first started selling these they came with 45 deg ends right. I think that those that bought the first few sets and installed them contacted GTM and I think that that is when they started 45 and 90 deg ends even the website was not updated.

I hope that the blowing hoses stop at GTM hoses and the socketless fittings..
Hopefully with the hoses I get from Mike will be end all for me and keeping track of these threads. Sorry to all those who have to go thru this oil mess and engine tragedy.....
