oil catch can pinched hose?

[o2coolchris]

I've had my catch cans (dual) installed for a few months now, and just recently I was taking a look at the lines and saw that the line going to the TB looks like it is being vaccum pinched shut. is this normal? Should i make the hose a little longer maybe?

i've seen people use zip ties along the length of the line... not tight enough to squeeze it... but tight enough to keep it round.

... the regular black hoses I buy at NAPA are like 1.50$/ft and they're very thick and hard to pinch ... so the hoses you have must be some cheap *ss hoses to pinch like that! :(

theWorst trick is a good one I think, but real pressure hoses would be a must!

silicone hoses don't hold up so well.

neither do the clear braided ones i have..

but the plain black ones are ... well. plain and black.


if only they made carbon fiber oil lines. (joke)
