Awesome stuff but not necessarily inexpensive. Goodridge has a similar product. One of my friends was amazed at how light and flexible it is. Just don't step on or pinch it.

Teflon hose uses fitting that are different from the standard rubber steel braided line. Has an olive/ferrule that goes between the braid and teflon liner. If you go teflon from std hose, you'll be buying all new hose ends. The AN to pipe adapters should be the same 37* flare.
