No, they can't handle the pressure and could possibly deteorate from the extreme cold temp. You can however cover the steel braided nitrous lines in black vacuum tubes to conceal them. Just make a slit down the center and wrap it around.

^^ I just put some black wire loom around my n2o lines to conceal them

but no, a vacuum line will not hold the pressure. You have to remember that your n2o pressure is going to be around 1000 psi.

What other lines could be used then stainless steel braided lines?

What purpose are you trying to achieve by not using SS line?

Well to see a cheap route to making my own nitrous kit. If theres a way to use someting else rather then the expensive steel braided lines.

I would highly suggest getting steel braided lines, atleast from a safety standpoint. 1000 psi is a lot of pressure, which is why such stout tubing is needed. You don't want a line to explode at all. There are other areas you can go with a cheaper solution, but use lines and fittings that were designed for this type of pressure.

I tried using some fatty rubber lines for my purge and it disentegrated the hose every time....SS is the only option....or solid nylon lines....

So you think nylon lines would work? Anyone know for sure?

they do make nylon lines (not sure if it is a special nylon), but I would only use that if I had a distribution block an a DP setup. It would be a lot easier to work with these lines from a block on the IM instead of using the stainless pipping. From the bottle to the engine bay I would still use stainless lines, especially if you run the line under your car.

The SS lines that come with the kit are hard nylon lines surrounded in SS....if you cut one you would see......Go SS, its worth the extra money....

The nylon lines work on DP kits to run from teh dist. blocks to the foggers, but they are too small for anything else.

get ss lines.. ppl say nitrous is the cheap way to get hp... when you start filling your bottle up at 30-45 or so bucks each time, you dont want to have it all leak out because youre bottles open and your lines cant handle it..

piece a kit together just dont do it with sub par ****.
