So I found a leak in my fuel lines when starting to get her ready for the season. I ordered the OEM lines and when I went to install them I noticed that there is no flange under the car and I need to cut the metal line (also it did not come with the federal and but for the cut side of the line...Very disapointing). Since this is the case I am now considering using the aftermarket lines instead.

First of all it looks like the aftermarket lines have the cut go behind the wheel well lining which seems cleaner to me...less dirt can get to the spot on the lines with the new flange (instead of EOM which is under the car).

I was looking at the regular and the braded steel lines I found on 944online.

stainless steel braded: https://944online.com/index.php/stainless-braided-fuel-line-kit.html

What are your thoughts on the aftermarket kits (line cut and adaptor ends up is behind wheel well lining) vs OEM which is a lot more money and the flange adaptor is under the car? Also what are your thoughts on the beaded vs. Regular, worth the extra $50?

I have the compression fitting type, they've been fine for over 10 years.
I just replaced the rubber section and re-used the compression fittings about 2 weeks ago due to age and since I was "in there" doing something else.

From experience use the standard rubber hose - stainless braided is a serious Pain in the *** to work with if you have to move the rail around much, it is really stiff.
Also it tends to act as a sort of hack saw if it rubs against anything else...

I have this set from Lindsey Racing and I'm pretty happy with them. I purchased the black lines with black fittings and I think they look really sharp in the engine bay without being flashy.
