I like the RB lines because if the hoses ever go bad they're easy to fix. You usually have to do SS lines yourself. That's why it's "custom."
yea i know that but why cant our cars use An fittings they look so much better than the clamp wanna bes that i have.

SS lines and AN fittings cost ALOT more than rubber hose with clamps.

I know that one is a breather. You could put a small filter on it. Doesn't it usually vent back into the intake?

yeah thats why i just payed $ 6.00 for them :wow:
what a joke, but i didn't want to screw around and get the wrong piece etc. I got them installed and still hvae a tiny leak, i need to tighten the screws down, my oil pressure is 2 like 15 lbs/in^2, so i no its not right. I also took it for a spin and noticed it leaked some. I got stuck 3 times in 10 minutes too! with 1- 1 1/2 inches of snow on the ground. my car is a cold beast, hates winter
