They just don't bend on a small enough radius. The lower hose has to go from the front-facing thermostat housing on the NA engines over to a WRX lower hose location. It's a pretty short S-shape. I had to hack up a couple hoses and use a cheap adapter. (That I still don't entirely trust, one failed on me earlier today, but I re-created it with slightly different size hoses and after 20ish shakedown miles it seems to be okay.) I have enough hoses and another adapter just in case. I am going to be checking the summit catalog for something a little beefier for the coupling thingy. Anyway, the distance between the two outlets is maybe 8" and an inch or so longitudinally.
