JDP Motorsports' 2010-11 SS Heater Hose 2012 Update DIY
The JDP Motorsports 2010-2011 Camaro SS Heater Hose 2012 Update is now available, and here is the do-it-yourself instructions for installation
This relocation of the heater hoses from on top of the intake manifold to the passenger frame rail is beneficial for a couple reasons. It keeps the hot hoses from possibly heating the intake manifold and therefore heating the intake air, which reduces power. It also makes the engine bay look much more professional and clean without the awkward hoses flopped on top. This, in addition to the JDP Motorsports' 2010+ Camaro SS Fuel LineRetrofit will make your Camaro SS's engine bay look the best on the block, with an actual good looking engine staring at you! Tools needed: Catch bucket or similar Long needle nose pliers or similar Long hose pliers (if available) Knife (if needed) 10mm 1/4" deep socket 1/4" ratchet

11. Take your new heater hoses, and on the bracket, there is a little tab sticking out. Bend that down flush with the rest of the bracket.
I recommend going under the car once the hoses are in place. There is a locating hole for the tab but no hole for a screw. With a very compact close quarter 90 degree drill you can drill a hole for a self tapping bolt and secure the bracket. I was not comfortable leaving the hoses unsecured. Bracket with bent tab and hole Installed bracket Nice diy write up!

Wait, so do the 2012's already have this update?
Edit: Never mind, I got my answer.

This info helped me a TON.
I had actually tried to do it in front of the heat shield. LOL The headers were in the way and I was thinking it wasn't gonna go. |

Yes I forgot to state the obvious, great write up and thanks for the Hose too. I did have to laugh at the "choose to cut off the lines", there is no way mine would break free.
