Nope, the bracket is a two piece design... One that fits around the fuel filter and one to serve as a base for the first. I just took the piece that holds the fuel filter and mounted it to the strut tower wall.

Sounds about right. I don't know why they had to put the filter, a commonly replaced item, in such a difficult place.

No! The only option on that path is to get custom longer fuel lines w/ fittings.

But that shouldn't be nessicary. I had to adjust the angle the lines were mounted to the filter at. But the stock lines reach fine. Remember to relieve the fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel lines.

To relieve the fuel pressure, pull the EFI fuse in the under-hood fuse block then crank the engine about 5 times.
