I like Nightmare stuff, but I personally would run better fittings. The Aeromotive tapered fittings flow much better, less restriction (true to size passage), and have less of a psi/flow drop. Compare them to others and the difference is very obvious.

It's crazy how much even name-brand fittings neck down in the passage, and it can force you to go up a size. In general, for oil, you don't want to run 90s. If you have to run a 90, run one of the Aeromotive ones (hose fitting), but due to the radius, you may not be able to.

Some headers have a tube that gets very close to the block where the filter housing adapter is, so you need to be careful of that.

Just some of my personal experience(s) I'm sharing...

Hard to believe Darrin runs those "hard 90" fittings on the remote filter mount.
These are a better deal if you need a 90 and don't have much room. A lot smoother and no O rings to leak, generic Amazon deal. I have a couple on my fuel system and no leaks
