Fuel line question

I twisted my fuel line a bit when i installed my new filter. I am not sure if it is hurting anything but to be sure i was thinking of replacing the line, It is the one that goes from the filter to the motor NOT the one that goeas from the filter to the tank.

It is twisted right after the filter.

Anyone know how to change the fuel line and how much it will ccost for parts?

Not really sure if it is cutting fuel flow or not. But if you do replace the fuel line, replace it in whole. Don't just patch up an area or whatever.

The hard line extends from the filter up just to the rear of the wheel well, where it connects to the plastic line that connects to the fuel rail. You need to pull off the inner fender liner to get to the connector there. So that hard line is about 6-7' long, with connectors at both ends. I have no idea what the part number would be, but the typical way to get replacement parts is either at a pick-n-pull (used) or at the dealer (new). The other alternative, if you're looking for fun and excitement and DIY, is to cut the hard line on both sides of the filter, and get all spun up on AN fittings and tube flaring so you can install an aftermarket filter on there. Certainly doable, but a project. I'd look at a pick-n-pull if I were you.
