Hello Patrick,
The hoses where long which was really sweet, because if you measure right and think about it, you end with spares ready to go
Since I have the EGR tube (though the EGR valve is kept unplug [not in picture though

]), its get a tad warm so I routed the supply between the dip stick bracket which ensures that the hose will never come in contact with the hot EGR unit or pipe.
Servicing the filter is easy, when you look up close and down, you find there's plenty of room. With routing the line to the CP3, route over the horn and that leaves a nice open space to get the filter in and out (especially since you have to pre-fill it).
I think its a kit worth having since you can now by diesel at cheap places and not worry about if they are pre-filtering or not, you will have some dang good filtering yourself.
Cheers,
Roberto
