Default Modified Hard Lines?

Has anyone modified the hard lines that run from the oil tank to the valve covers? I think this is part of the evap system. I'm trying to fit my MAMOFIED Covers on and the passenger side line is in the way, think it would fit better if it were more of a rubber line vs the hard plastic.

So you tapped into the hard line or did you re do the whole system using rubber line?

Just tapped in to the end of it.....cut off the connector that went on my old valve cover and slipped on a piece of rubber hose.

This. Get some good silicone fuel line (similar to rubber, but looks nicer and is higher quality) and route it any way you like. Really cleans up the engine bay (that god awful hard line that goes from the oil tank to the air intake looks like a$$!).

Yes I replaced all the hardlines with silicone, or other type of line.
