Default fuel rails

do the extruded type of fuel rails work on a 99 c5? i cant see how a connection could be made at the firewall on the drivers side, unless there is some kind of banjo contraption out there and even then. they will be higher than the stock rails, right?

you could use them, you would just need to adjust your fuel lines to adapt the rails to the OEM line.

cut the cowl or cut the rail down to make it shorter and have it welded back together, that's the only way I've seen lines fit on the rear of the driver side rail... or you could feed them both from the front instead
