You need to unclip the factory fuel line from its bracket. And pull it towards the front more. Then it will fit just fine. And look a tad better than a autozone hose and worm clamp. Lol

Sleepingpanda Maybe I was one of the unlucky ones, but I did the same thing you just described, and unfortunately it didn't work, as the hose's diameter wasn't big enough to go over the end link of the fuel rail. FXRob helped me with the installation and he was able to connect the hose, but it ended up leaking fuel. Therefore, we went with plan B and use a bigger hose instead and it worked perfectly.

The factory line length was fine, the issue was with the tolerances of the K-tuned rail having a slightly smaller diameter which allowed fuel to drip past the o-ring on the factory line. Instead of playing with different sized o-rings which may or may not have solved the issue I had some 5/16" fuel hose which I knew wasn't going to leak and be safe!

Do end links make a big difference or is it just so the stock ones don't wear out?

They're definitely more beefier and since the Eibach sway bars are thicker; I wanted better end links. The OEM ones started to wear out on me.
