I was at a meet in fresno and saw a guy painted his b series valve cover like an aquarium scene. That was the coolest one I've ever seen.

the best person who can answer that question is you brotha...since only you know what kind of car you have and how much distance lies between your catchcan and valve cover. you also gotta remember that not everyone has the same kind of catchcan that you have and not everyone will place their catchcan in the same location you will. For example, I have an ALL-IN-FAB catchcan that is goingright behind my driver side headlight on my ep3.

I have an ep3 and my bay is different from any of those other bays that you mentioned. Read my post again or better yet have someone who knows how to read, help if out if that is a problem. I never said any of the things you are saying. Then go ahead and have someone help you measure the distance between your catchcan and your valve cover and then you multiply that by 2 so you can find out how much lines will need. Why is this so complicated for you?

EDIT: you have been on this site since 2006, I'd figure you would know how to do something so simple...
