Default Fuel rail options
I'm trying to do a few engine dress up mods including a painted intake manifold and Katech valve covers. I'm looking for some new billet fuel rails. I would like to know what options are out there and would like to see pictures if possible. Thanks!

Agreed! I will likely go with something red, black, or polished/chrome. Who makes the rails pictured, and what is involved with connecting them to the factory fuel system?

I would definitely like to see some pictures of your setup since I am using the same valve covers and coil relocation brackets!

Rails are from SpeedInc.com.

Rails bolt right up no mods necessary. But you will obviously need AN fittings and braided hose to plumb everything.

Great stuff on the autobuffs site! Im looking for fuel rails in particular not just the covers though. Maybe you could point me in a different direction on the site where there is some fuel rail setups?

I am not really sure. I think it does. I pieced together my own fittings and hose as I requried a specific routing of hose and stuff and I wanted black fittings (typical is red and blue fittings, but you can get most in black and even polished now).

That looks freakin sweet! If I didn't go with a set of red valve covers I would do the same setup. I did however order a set of the speed inc. natural finish rails. Thanks for the help guys!
