Using hard lines from solenoid to nozzle Has anyone done this on anything other than a direct port kit? Any benefits other than underhood cleanliness? Is is hard to bend the lines? Do I need any special tools? If I try this, it will be on a Nitrous Express MAF Kit.

Seen it done on a C5 and it looked great. Hard line is easy to bend once you get the hang of it. You will need a tube bender (around $10 to $15) and a 37 degree flare tool (around $50). you will also need the ferrels and nuts for the 3AN connection.

I think -3 braided stainless flex hose looks better with MAF system and it's much easier to "flex out of the way" during jet change.

Airwolf, did you do your own lines on the FAST manifold? Gollum, I highly doubt I'll change Jets much. 100 in one side and 150 in the other.

What about the rest of the plumbing? Can hard line (e.g. brake
line) be used reliably? It's just "stealthier", stainless braided
practically shouts "look at me!" but one more dull-finish piece
of hard line, nobody looks at. Unless of course it's going to a
blue and red anodized doohickey or a rack of 'em....
