I'm running a welded on -10AN fitting on the chimney to a firewall mounted breather on the autocross car. I've experienced twice now, the chimney clip coming undone while driving the car hard. I'm thinking the SS braided -10AN line is too stiff for the chimney "clip" to overcome any movement in the body and drive train.
Does anyone have any experience with a softer, more flexible AN style hose? -Aaron |

Aaron, that just looks like it will wiggle lose with so little flex.
I would keep a close eye on it, and maybe consider a slightly longer piece of hose to add in some movement? Seems from what I can see, the oil breather is mounted on a stationary part of the car, and the engine is moving? that type of movement will loosen up something over time. |
