I have never heard a definitive reason why, but assume it is to balance pressure drop due more bends and length on the drivers side.


Ok thx for answer. I didnt know that. But that makes sense. Good i ordered a spare from a 4.6. The spare is cut behind the rubbermount in the same lenght as a new replacement from the dealer would be. See if i weld it or if i buy the clamp that is intended for the job. Personally i like welded seams better than clamps
