be careful with that, with our winter weather and salt, these stainless stell braided lines hold more of the salt than a regular rubber hose. My mechanic was actually showing me a WRX with these braided brake lines where the salt deteriorated the whole line right down to the rubber. The line was frayed and he actually failed the guys safety because of it for fear that the frayed metal could splice the rubber lines.. He wont even install them on cars anymore.

Also: there is a very specific restrictor valve within the stock line ... if you have a new line made make sure they cut out that piece of the stock line and include it in the new ... that part is not sold separately.

And the reason I know is that I've been there and done that ... I blew a ps line at Calabogie last year because me SVT header was too close to my non-SVT ps line ... I have since replaced it with a Ford SVT ps line ... but the one I had custom made included a length of the OE hose to incorporate that valve.
