Braided Lines

BK:
Planning on replacing the fuel and trans cooler lines on my car.
I have black fabric covered stuff now and would like to stick with that style.
Just looking for input on Brands if one is better than the other or should be avoided.
Also maybe which is the most flexible .

Finnish Fireball:
Use the same brand that your fittings are, I've been told there might be slight differences if one starts mixing products. Not sure if thats the case but lot of quality complaints nowadays even with well known brands such as Fragola etc. I have used California based XRP for decades and no complaints, just updated my lines and stick with them trying to avoid any fitment issues aka leaks. XRP has solid reputation still. I would stay away from cheap "house brands" from far east that Jegs, Summit etc. sell. Not worth the risk, cost difference is so minimal if the risk is burning down your gear or ending up replacing everything next season again.

i have tried different brands and I also prefer XRP

lake_harley:
I used to sell circle track racing products and XRP was my "go-to" brand for fittings and hose. Now to be fair, for the circle track classes I catered to mostly Push-On type fittings & hose were used, but I don't recall ever having a complaint or return for a bad XRP fitting. My experience was that XRP was also usually a bit less expensive than other brands like Aeroquip & Earls, and to me that's always a plus as long as the quality is good.

I've never used the push-on type only the regular swivel ones used with braided lines
