Bill - I'm designing mine to use a -16 AN Outlet of the intake which will connect to a 90 degree fitting. The hose will route over the top and then behind the alternator, from there down to another 90 degree connecter to hook up to the through pipe to the radiator area. Probably not much help to you - but I see no practical way to get the hose routing any shorter in my application. I measured this out to take a 22" hose...
