Can anyone confirm if HSV LSA heater hoses woukd fit LS3 SS.

Anyone have any close up pictures of how they are routed ?

I really want to get rid of OEM ones from the top of the engine...

Thought l had read you had already done that? Obviously not. ;) :) :cool:

Have not done it yet. Just contemplating best option for now. This seems a good option as no mods would be away and hoses are tucked away from the extractors etc.

u can use the ones u have and just re route them, i went down the side with the chassis rail and back up to the firewall, can then wrap it with heat stuff, i done that with may last setup before i redone the hoses but basically same routing

Strongly recommend my method which is documented somewhere on here! Been going strong 2 years. Looks great with techflex over the top too.

I think it's the best way. Holden wants $340 for those LSA hoses. No thanks ;)
