I'm not real happy how I had to install it with the advance auto hose connector...worried the hell out of me all night last night... So I got to messing with it this morning and ended up putting it back to stock for now. I want to put it back on using steel braided lines ASAP. Can anyone help me as far as what exactly I need to accomplish this? Where do I get the lines,how do I connect to the PVC outlet,and how do I adjoin the steel line to the throttle body nipple (where the brass hose connector that comes with the bt kit goes)... I'm new to this so bare with me with the questions,lol! The way I had it hooked up looked real rigged and unclean... Not how I'm trying to get down on a truck with less than 400 miles on it!!!!!! Thanks for any advice!!!!

Check with hemi450hp or fastNugly and they should be able to get the upgraded lines. I believe that bt sells them and either of those 2 could get you what you need. There is probably a cheaper option but I don't know what there is.

If they can get exactly what I need, the right size where all I got to do is stick them on there... It's worth an extra coupe bucks since the catch can was a freebie!!!!

Hopefully they will post up!

I don't see the advantage of steel braided? Its not high pressure aside from looks. Countless trucks are running the rubber tubing fine.
Unless I miss understood what you have used.

Mainly for looks.. Also,I didn't have the brass connector thing to connect the rubber hose to the throttle body that comes with the BT kit. I had to hose clamp some advance auto parts **** in there, hated it and ended up taking it off. If I could locate just the correct connector thing I might would put it back on there Like everyone else but I figured once I decide on which CAI I'm gonna go with, it would nice and clean with some braided lines on there. If anybody has that connector piece leftover from their install for some reason, I will gladly give you a few bucks for it and pay shipping if you wanna let it go...
