The flexible housing sheath is 48" long though. I'd have to cut that too.....I'll check it out though.
That's the one I bought cuz the shop was out of the shorter one-you can see a pic of the install in my thread,
Just cut it with a cut off wheel or a hacksaw. When you cut it the aluminum piece slides over the sheath and hides the end anyway. You can see the aluminum pieces in the pictures above I did this on 3 cars, its pretty easy, not rocket surgery I think the cable was a little more of a pain actually, you have to worry about the cable "fraying" if you are not careful.
Cool, I never actually looked to see if I could do it. I was just looking for confirmation that it was feasible. Thank guys.
I have the Lokar 48" for my LS2. No way would a 36" be enough since the throttle connection is 28" from the firewall AND (unlike TPI or Carbs) on the passenger side of the engine. Yes, ridiculous price, but I wanted it in one day from Summit.
I used the Lokar cable and cut it to the proper length with a hacksaw. I removed the cable from the sheath , wrapped the cable with tape where I cut and then removed the tape. It prevented the cable from fraying.
That's leaves 8" and there's not even 3-4" by the pedal on the interior side of the firewall. I have well in excess of a 12" drip loop of unused throttle cable by the rear of my LS1. Here, I found a pic of mine freshly installed in 2007. Look at all the excess.
sorry to bring up such an old thread but I just wanted to let you guys know I trimmed my 48" lokar cable thing morning. I cut about 7" out of it, just pulled the cable out & wrapped the sheath with tape & cut it with a cut-off wheel then snipped the cable. I think it looks much better now. before pic see how much extra is back at the firewall. another before pic with the new intake on after trimming about 6-7 inches off
