I'm trying to piece together my parts for a fuel system upgrade but ran into a little snag. I want to run -6 SS line from the tank to the fuel filter but I'm not sure how it can be done on the newer model Integras (I have an '01 GSR). I was planning on hooking up the SS line to the tank in the same fashion as Dustin's setup, except I want to leave the return line stock. Just like this but picture the return line as stock:



Now, according to my Helms, my fuel feed line does not have a female thread (to screw something into) like the one pictured here (also Dustin's):



Instead, in my Helms, it shows the return *and* feed line as those thin steel lines that just stick out of the fuel pump bracket. There is a "quick connect" thing that is used to connect the fuel feed line to the steel feed piece that sticks out of the bracket. Now, in this configuration there is no banjo bolt there to interfere with flow characteristics. Should I even worry about changing the stock feed line out to SS line? I'm not even sure how I would attach the SS line to those thin steel lines if I wanted to? Thanks for any help...

Here is a pic from my Helms that shows what I'm talking about (yes it's crappy). You can kind of make out the two steel fuel lines that stick out of the bracket. Atleast you get the idea...

Any ideas or suggestions on how to handle this?

Ok, how about this. Since it looks like my stock fuel setup does not have any banjo fittings to interfere with fuel flow; would it be any more efficient to run the -6 SS lines for the fuel feed? I'm thinking about just leaving my feed line stock as it is, and using a hose clamp to connect the SS line to the hard line up by the fuel filter...
