Fuel Filter housing on LB7 Duramax

I had to replace the fuel filter housing on my truck last week. The one that GM says fits from 01-03 costs over $500. The one for trucks from 04-12 is just over $100. I decided to see if the later model housing would work. The only difference in them is how the metal pipes are pointing. I had to change the 2 fuel lines because the old ones were too short. Total amount spent was just under $135.
