So i swapped my sti top mount for a greddy frount mount, everythings installed and works fine but im having an issue with one of the pipes hitting fuel lines and im unsure what to do about it. This isn't my car but this guy bent his up over his piping but i feel like i would have to do a lot of bending to get it to this point.
Any ideas?

Its right next to the windshield washer fluid tank.

Thats an APS FMIC in the pic... this pic isnt your car, just representing the issue? Usually some very slight bending will get it to clear, thats what I did on mine with my APS FMIC.

Yes, i'm just representing the issue. I couldn't find a picture with the greddy piping, and this showed exactly what i wanted to find out. However i think the greddy piping has a bigger diameter then the APS, at least it looks like that from the picture, i'm just worried about pinching the lines.

its not bigger the pipes are just switched. the pipe to your manifold on your greddy is on the driver side. not the passenger side like the APS. And it is also run over top the fuel lines not under and slightly hitting the hood.

There is a bolt that holds the fuel line brackets to the intake manifold. Unbolt it and bend it a little.

I know, this what im trying to figure out though, because once those fuel lines are out of the way, the pipe should have room to drop another inch and actually bolt in. So the question is, do we try to bend the lines over the pipe or bend them slightly down more?

Alright cool, i'll have to try this after work, I'm just weary of bending them, don't want this to turn into a replacing fuel lines job.
