    I went fron the stock 1 hole injectors on my 2000 to 12 hole Bosch injectors and right off the bat I noticed a good improvement in throttle response, smoother idle and somewhat better gas mileage to work in back twice gas needle did not move as far as before but has not been a tank yet.

    Replacing a metal brake line and flaring

    Either as stated above go pre-formed or get the easy bend one with the copper.
