I bought a set of these a while back and was wondering if they are adequate. My car is stock and I was wondering if I should just go with OEM lines if available?

What would make you think the SS lines are inadequate?

SS are definetly more robust and safer than rubber, so why not use them if you've already got them?!

I've had mine on for 2 years..no issues. Slide a heat shield around them before you hook them up, braided lines are really abrasive.

They are fine. However if you have a good set of stock ones and arent going for bigger power, zero need to replace.

I heard that they sometimes leak.

Actually, they have a rubber inner core around which a braid of SS wires is wound. The SS braid protects the rubber core from nicks and cuts. However, the outer SS braid can be quite abrasive on certain surfaces.

I have a set installed on my car, and love them. I also have the fire sleeve so the actual SS braid doesn't touch anything. As far as leaking, the most common place people complain about is the connection to the FPR. I have never had any issues with leaking and the compression fittings work perfectly AND allow you to relocate the connections into the wheel well itself. If you have any questions, feel free to call me!

I'm sure they're fine but why you'd need them on a stock / ish car I'm not sure? Sounds like D has them set up correctly.

Here's how I have them routed:



My only complaint is the length of the supply line to the FPR. I could trim it if I wanted, but messing with the braid was something I didn't care to do.

Rennbay has a silicone set for $ 60.00 I used them on my car with a afpr and a racing fuel pump zero leaks . Now you have to realize that visual inspection is easier on regular hoses than braided lines.

Darwantae951

That is also true (about inspection). Hey Lart, how was the connection made between the silicone line and the hard line? Did they use compresion fittings, too?

lie not $ 60.00 but $ 64.00 here is the link

Good point.

I have clamp style fuel hoses from SFR and eventually I'd like to get the supply line from lindsey as it uses compression and AN fittings which in my book are much safer than the clamps used with rennbay and SFR.
