you should use some pushlock hose, like -10 or whatever will squeeze hard onto the hosebarbs. you wont need any clamps and it is much more durable.

run a firesleeve over it. It will keep the temp out. It can withstand a molten lava splash. I have more of it on my catch can set up and the firesleeve is literally SITTING on top of my ramhorn manifold.
I even have a firesleeve on my stainless steel oil return line since it does come near the exaust and dumptube. (exhaust is thermal wrapped though)

no it doesnt work...try using a hose that wasnt made to hold oil and see what happens to it.....after which it breaks and you loose all your oil

Don't do it. Get hose meant for oil transfer not **** that is "oil resistant".
One day its gonna pop on the freeway and then you're in trouble
