you'll need the 8.8 brake hose if you plan to run dual exhaust and the fitting that bolts to the body that is a brass fitting, it is obsolete, so you'll need to get one from a bone yard, here's a pic....you'll also need to run a little bit of new brake line for the relocation

you could but all I did was use my double flare kit and tapped in where I needed to and made the proper section to connect to that v-8 fitting in the pic

were did you get that fitting from?so i need to do it the way that you said or is there another way?

the reason I did it the way the factory did it , is that it places the line in the proper spot so that the tail pipes don't interfere with the line, i GOT THE fitting used from a place called cj pony parts
