fester,

The hoses have been on for about 3 years now and no sign of any reaction to oil, heat, softening etc. In fact they are in excellent condition. I have the catch can fitted on the right hand side via a bracket on the roll bar, more room to fit there. Consequently the pipes are running across the back of the engine along the firewall so they are subjected to a bit of heat. You're right they are good for bends and I selected ones that had the bends I needed.

Go to Pirtek and they'll sort you out. I had issues with some hoses attached to my catch can and explained it to them and now have a hose that I'm very happy with. It was pretty cheap too. Plus I got the 90deg nipples from them too.

Yep,

Lightweight hydraulic hose is the go, that is what I'm using. There is a pretty stong vacuum pulling from the manifold to your catch can outlet. Heater hose could possibly collapse if the hose warms up and/or is of considerable length ?

Cheers
