    I wouldn't worry about the air in the line, it's normal. What I would worry about is that nylon line. It gets brittle with heat and age, and is an accident waiting to happen. Use the copper line.

    Bill,
    I don't know anyone who has done this, but someone on this BB must have. With dual exhaust, I would think you would need to mount one in each bank. In the header collector, or close to the exhaust manifold/head pipe junction, would be best, I believe
