i had one aftermarket #6AN non PTFE lined hose leak on my old stocker after one years use down
You get to decide what you want to use, just like I do.
Buy it once and don't worry or loose the shop with all the cars and parts in it due to a leaky, CHEAP fuel line:potentially starting a fire in it work shruggy

I'm sure Autozone loves hearing from the guys who buy their high end race car components from them too.

Racing flex exhaust pipe, Dayblowna AFBs, Stpm, 3/4 cams and many more. Had a friend who worked a parts store back in the day told me he heard this stuff everyday, a running joke.

And he’s not the only one. We have a couple of screw hose clamp guys at keystone that have held up a days racing on many occasions. They have 100.00 for weed but not 100.00 for safe leak free transmission lines.

You'll have to excuse me for having a confused reaction to your statement above. Oh, and I purchased Vibrant Performance, Fragola and Summit brand hardware for this upgrade.

IMO Fragola is the best stuff out there, but that opinion is like asking who's got the best converter. As for the other comment you do what you like with your car, if cheap hose and hose clamps make you feel all warm a cuddly by all means go that way. I dont use PTFE hose personally but just my choice, just like hose clamp guy makes his.

It’s not cheapy, it’s knowing how to install the most simple thing on any car. If you can’t get a hose clamp on right get out of the kitchen

Thanks for the tips. I'm pretty new at this.

I remember NHRA saying 6.0 inch long max on all flexible hoses, tranny and fuel.
I haven't race a NHRA legal class car other than a S/P 7:50 certified car, no rubber or neoprene hose lines on it tsk

That is true of auto parts store rubber crap and hose clamps. The real stuff from any of the manufacturers, using the correct hardware, is good to go for the whole car. SS braid, Aeroquip Startlite, Fragola Nylon Braid, etc.

Fragola is nice stuff, and I believe all or mostly made at their place in Connecticut.

Their nylon braid hose has a single SS braid in it, where the AQP Startlite Nomex braid hose does not. The Fragola is slightly heavier, but both products are substantially lighter than traditional SS braid hose. Also the Fragola hard parts are not quite finished as nice as the Aeroquip stuff...but they also don't cost as much. And the Fragola catalog has a lot more odd and unusual parts that can be helpful.

I use both, but never mix hose and ends between manufacturers. The stuff is different enough that it won't work.

Like I said its like asking whos converter is best...Yes Fragola products are 100% USA made..NO reason for me to try anything else..

As for the clamp guy, I spent all my military career in the USAF. Doing wait for it HYDRAULICS on fighter aircraft. Ask me how many hose clamps we used?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
