Re: where does everyone get that clear braided hose? (NAPIER)
it usually comes with the catch can, but i'd recommend getting stainless lines instead. besides, the clear braided hose looks like the hose for a kitchen sink spray and would probably turn brown once oil flows through it...just my opinion of course 
i'm sure you can find the clear hose at a hardware store...oh yah, and my braided lines are -8 size. good luck!

Plus it deforms when heated and can pinch shut in my experience. Yeah it looks nice, but you are better off with standard vacuum hose.

you can use it for the valve cover ventalation & overflow container. your correct, it's not made for high heat, however, I've used it for 6 or so years & never had a problem. I would NOT recommend it for anything else.

Yeah... it shouldn't see that much heat if you are just routing it from your valve cover to the catch can... plus, it won't see vacuum so you don't have to worry about it collapsing... I've seen the regular old clear hose stuff from Home Depot used many times without any problems... it's in the plumbing section I think...
