J-tube is mounted on the block on the drivers side under the intake manifold towards the front of the block. It is inline with the fuel return line going back to the gas tank. When people put a FPR on their car it is removed/bypassed. Not sure of the benefits of it removed, while still using the stock regulator. There is a rubber hose connected to both sides of it. Easy to bypass.

Question if people are drilling out the "j" tube then how do you drill when you get to the bend, I would think it would be easier to just by pass it

Yeah Cobra wheels, they are just temporary. As for the J-tube, I think the restrictions are only on the ends.
