Hemi_Joel OP master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 7,479 Minnesota	I've been seeing a different kind of braided hose on race cars for the last few years, instead of the braided stainless steel. What is it? Is it lighter or stronger, or cheaper or easier to use? What about safety how does it compare with braided steel in that regard?

The stainless really never added much strength wise anyway. Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Your experience my differ from mine but for the added cost it's not worth it. Have been using different brands on different applications for years and have yet to have any problems with any of them except for once and that was our fault. If you ever use the Jegs stuff and take a fitting off you MUST cut the hose a little shorter or the hose will not seat back on the fitting. We blew a trans line off. Fixed it and never had a problem again. And that was on one of Jeg's top dragsters. Back in the swing of things at Painless again! Great to be back!

Most braided hose has rubber inside, no rubber will last very long. It's no different than regular rubber hose without the braid, it don't last forever. A lot guys think it last for years but it don't. It should only be used in short lengths and replaced every couple three or so years.
