and only problem with "home depot" route on the return is that tubing likes to crimp closed and is prone to leaks.


i went with AN fitting/lines for my feed/return

I would stick with the stainless braided, a solid brake line might be difficult to install plus you'll have to flare it and get the fittings right.

AN is the way to go. The downpipe is not pressurized, only drains by gravity so you can get by with a hose clamp there is you have to save a few bucks.
