Default oil lines expensive?

Hey, I was looking at the oil line kit from stealthmode performance. $100 shipped. Okay. Still seems a lil expensive, even if it does just bolt right on. Is it worth the money? I spent all day today running around to auto parts stores and couldn't find any parts that would make a decent oil feed line. :P

He must have raised the prices or it's a misprint. They were cheaper. Are they worth it, yes. They have the correct size threads to screw into the block to avoid stripping and they are very sexy.

I put mine together at a hydraulic hose place for $75, incl some hi temp gasket material they threw in. Check out places that deal in hydraulic lines - regular parts places usually won't be able to help you out.

I just bought one of stealthmodes kits for $80 shipped two weeks ago, looks very nice, and easy to put on.

imo, you should keep in mind the ammount
of work you're going to be able to avoid by buying the
stealthmode kit.

all those fittings and stuff can be very confusing,
all that npt/bspt/bsp/AN stuff, you need an adaptor for everything!

basically its all confusing stuff, and its no biggie to pay alittle extra for all that ----.

Yeah--I've already sent him $100 for the kit, but I was hoping for the $80 deal.
