HPX Mod

i'm getting ready to order the HPX line. my question is should i get the hard line tubing (itp diesel has a nice one) or the braided steel flex line that a few sponsers sell? i've read that you have to replace the flex steel line every year, i'd rather not have to spend money every year to replace the line. just wondering what everyone thought.

thanks

It looks like you have made up your mind. I have the Hard SS rail crossover line and it hasn't gone wrong yet.

thanks for the advice guys!

i ordered the ss line from itp... we'll see what happens... i have a 'metal tapping' noise when at idle. i have no idea what it is, but performance is fine. i'm hoping that the hpx will balance out the oil pressure and the noise will go away. does anyone have any ideas on what it is? could it be the number 8 injector?

I have the braided hose too and yes, it does say to change it yearly in the installation instructions. I will go for the hard SST line next time.

I put the SS HPX in last weekend. 30min job. Idles nicer than before the change.
Next to go is the Regulated Return kit, ITP is not selling it now, have to go for the DI Performance one.

Just ordered a hard line HPX (from ITP)to replace the braided line that has been there for a while

And just got confirmation that my guages(Isspro white/w bluepointers) have finally come off back-order, should be here mid next week.

Not only will the new Regulated Return setup be BioD compatible, it will also have some other changes to coincide with the fuel bowl delete we've developed, all kits will clear Terminator/Stealth HPOP systems, the valley will be almost completely free of fuel lines (can't be 100% if you keep the bowl), etc. It's a worthwhile update to the system that's just taking longer than expected.
