the oil relocation unit i have is from summit and i liked how it gave me long enough hoses that it wouldnt be in the way. you might need to just get a different relocation kit. which one do u have?

Yea just use a relocater kit and put it on the firewall so it's easier to get to. You can get them from summit.

yes, there are shorter filters.
i have to use one on mine for exsaust clearance.

i don't have a part number,the store should be able to help you....if not, then just start opening boxes till you find one.

mine is about 1" shorter than the standard one.
