Default Is drag's oil return line that bad?

I've heard many times not to use drag's oil return line? Is it really that bad? Also if I should get a new one where can I get a steel braided one cheap?

I wouldnt say it bad, but with a ss braided hose you can use the Earl fittings and it looks nice and has a good seal.

Drag's oil return "solution" consists of a piece of conduit and some garden hose

the bright side is... if you ever need to do any electrical or yard work and home depot is closed... you can just hit up the car and get any parts you might need

for most, a foot is long enough, but I have been told might need up to 2"

I bought 2 feet of it. I messed up on the first one (made it too short), so good thing I bought too much!

I just bought another 2 feet along with some "fyrejacket" stuff to go over it. My dump tube pushed the oil return line into the downpipe and 'browned' it a little bit... so I have decided to replace it and put that heat shielding over it.

It depends on the size of your fittings... but -10 AN is a good size.

The only thing you want in that picture is the line.

You do not want that blue top fitting.. where would that even go?

And the bottom thing in the picture is just one of those show "hose ends" that still uses a cheapie hose clamp.

What kind of fitting should I get? Should I just use the drag fitting and a different steel braided line?
