I think people know what I meant.. but thanks for pointing it out Captin obvious.
Oh this thread makes me want to buy this rail now, if it's Curt approved it must be good!!! Who's got an un-modded one they don't want anymore and will let go cheap?

I'm not trying to be obtuse, just that there is a lot of misinformation on this forum (almost as much as useful information) and I don't want anybody to confuse a reputable part from a reputable manufacturer due to a juxtaposed acronym. Even though I fully understood what you intended to say, someone else casually perusing this thread might have missed your earlier post. Regardless, the discussion of the AEM fuel rail and it's shortfalls should be discussed in another thread to keep this thread on topic.

On a related note, Joe from Skunk2 contacted me today and informed me that they are aware of this thread and are going to try and work with the vendor I purchased the rail from for a refund. He had been very slow to get back to me, but is responding much faster now.
I'm waiting for the vendor to confirm if they will give me a full refund without the hefty (20%) restocking fee. I don't feel that a restocking fee is appropriate for a product that does not fit as advertised. If I simply changed my mind or wanted a refund for no reason I would be more than amenable to the restocking fee, but not under these circumstances.
I'm waiting to hear back from the vendor and will update this thread accordingly.

Just installed mine, It did take a little work. I had to open up the bolt holes to the fuel pressure regulator a little. I also had to machine the lips off my spacers but after that everything was good.
This is a really nice Fuel rail, and I didn't mind the little extra work it took to put it on! One thing I will say is you might want to put a little oil on all your o-rings before plugging in your injectors,regulator and fuel feed line, it's a tight fit.
My only complaint is that there isn't enough room to fit a socket around the bolt head, and you need to put washers on the factory bolt so they don't sink into the rail.
Anyone that can't install one of these on their car themselves don't need to be working on their own car.
Thanks Curt for the great info on this rail!!!

Tell me this. if you went to the dealer and bought an oem fuel rail and you had to mod it to fit, would you find that acceptable? That would be the exact same thing as this isnt a universal part. Its supposed to be an oem replacement.

Attitudes like yours are why these companies make products like this instead of stuff that fits right. I work in manufacturing and if i put out stuff like this, i would be on the street. In most industries this is unacceptable.
