Ford Performance Air Oil Separator - Does It Really Fit Like This?

[ARAMP1]

After some searching, it seems like the passenger side air oil separator fits different models, but here's the line from the canister to the intake on the GT350. I've fit it on both directions and it has quite a bit of a kink either way. Is there a better solution? Maybe a line from a different vehicle that fits better?

I'm looking at both kits online. The return line is different on the other kit. Can you bend it to match the look of the other kit?

Or maybe get that other line if they sell it separate, but right now that does not look great. Your angles look right from the instructions too

I have the other kit on the other side and it fits perfect. The short line is a hard line and the angles won't fit.

Here s mine from a Mach1, yes different engine but I also found that top line to be too tight FYI.

I had the same kink issue so I decided to adjust until it didn't and the below were my results. I'll admit the fp instructions visually isn't the best. It is tucked underneath that one wire, however, it seemed to offer the least stress. Typically, I would have done it above.

I had a similar problem when installing mine. My solution was twofold. First, I warmed the flexible hose with a hair dryer to soften it a little, making it more flexible without kinking. Second, where the line attaches to to the seperator itself, I turned the fitting so the elbow points upward, instead to the side. This eleminated the kinks.
It's a little hard to see in my pic, but there are no kinks in the flexible part. But you can see the elbow attached to the seperator pointing up.

yup that’s how mine is as well

I’m pretty fond of this option.

I like it but it looks like you're putting weight on the wire, would you not agree?

What is that?

No, I do not agree. Plenty of slack in that wire.

Catch can hoses from UPR. The ends can come off and cut the hose to fit perfectly. Looks great, no goofy kinks! The kinks in the stock lines aren’t an issue as nothings really linked or closed off, this option just looks great.

I just swapped my tubes around. No more kinks.

Do you have a link to the hoses? Very nice look.

FWIW, any 5/8" I.D. or -10AN push lock hose will fit snuggly over the O.E. fittings. A gates heat shrink clamp will give a more finished look but no clamp is necessary.
