OMP lines

I'm finishing up my streetported 12A and I want to retain my stock OMP. I was wondering what people would recommend for the actual lines. I've done a search on ss lines and came up with: http://www.rotorsportsracing.com/per...g/OMPlines.htm
which may need some modification for the intake fittings. I haven't pulled the plugs in the intake yet to see what size I would need. I realize that stainless would be overkill with regards to psi but I'm going with ss for the oil cooler so a little matching bling would be cool. I was also thinking of going with silicone instead.

Opinions please.

^^ Ha, that thing looks exactly like the S4 engine in my S2

Dont use silicone with oil, it will crackle.
I used clear flexible rubberhose and those ear-crimp clamps from the local hardware store.
It costs next to nothing.

If you zoom in, you can probably see the "ear-crimp clamps" on the MOP(or is it OMP I can never remember)

Nice colour choice! What sleeve do you have on there? I assume that's for protection from heat/

I used 1/8 inch oil hose you can get for cheap from any auto parts place, and clamps on the omp.

The clear lines that I bought from someone were clogged!!

I know the generic black hoses brings down the bling on that yellow and red engine in your golden rx-7. Wish my rx-7 was gold!!

Hmmn... I am starting to lean towards going with clear. My thinking is that I would like to have a visual confirmation that oil is being supplied to my intake.
