I'm pretty sure they're a sleeve over the tube/line, but i could be wrong.
They have them on summit racing I remember seeing it a while ago.. But I can't remember the damn name of it.

Stainless Steel Braided hose. Most commonly used for nitrous and fuel lines. Come in sizes of 4AN, 6AN, 8AN, etc. Bigger the more expensive

I tried the Spectra kit several years ago and I would not recoment it. It is a very tight fit over the rubber hose and by the time you finally get the sleeve worked on its all twisted and looks pretty ghetto. I may have been doing something wrong, but I don't think so.

Look for the "Hottest Red F-Body" thread (might be on 2nd appearance page now) Brian's underhood shot is on one of the first few pages, then more on the next page after that.


And thank you for the responses guys, i'll look into it and see if it's worth it!
