Written byTrue automotive performance is built from the inside out — and it starts with how fluids move. Custom braided hoses are designed to meet severe requirements and thus are a necessity to anyone who is interested in speed, safety, and preservation of the system. For racing, modifying, or owning a custom build, hose selection is a key factor in safety, efficiency, and reliability. That is where the special braided hoses take center stage.
Engineered to work in harsh conditions such as motorsport applications, turbocharged motors, performance fuel systems, etc, these hoses can deliver upon durability, resistance to heat, and accuracy of fluid delivery. In this article, we explore everything you need to know — from hose types and materials to accessories like banjo bolt and brake bleed nipples.
Why Choose Custom Braided Hoses?
Custom braided hoses are engineered for high-pressure, high-heat environments — making them indispensable for racing, modified vehicles, and high-performance setups. As compared to the traditional rubber hoses, however, braided lines provide:
- Extended resistance against pressure
- Little growth of precise non-stop streaming of fluids
- Compatibility with oil, fuel, and coolant
Whether you want to assemble a turbo system, improve your clutch lines, or construct a custom fuel system, ready-made custom braided hoses will provide long-term performance and comfort.
Our hoses come with:
- A 2-year warranty
- 100-day hassle-free returns
- Full compatibility with most performance fluids
- Sizing options from AN6 to AN20
There is also the possibility of reinforced rubber or PTFE inner cores, however in-cabin fuel lines should be PTFE. The hoses are reinforced with stainless steel or black nylon cotton braided to face adverse conditions. Add a heat sleeve for thermal resistance.
Types of Custom Braided Hoses
1. Custom Brake and Clutch Hoses
Best for: High-performance braking and clutch systems in cars and motorcycles
Material: PTFE inner with stainless steel braided exterior
They are hoses that allow your brake pedal to feel firmer with more accurate clutch engagement, which is made possible by a significant reduction in expansion. They are made specifically to your specifications to fit your needs perfectly on the street and track. We have custom brake lines that exactly fit and provide a stronger braking feel.
2. Turbo Oil and Coolant Lines
Best for: Turbocharged engines that demand reliable oil and coolant transfer
Material: PTFE core with stainless steel braiding
Turbo systems demand a high amount of heat and pressure beyond the capacity of an ordinary hose. The goal of these custom lines is to provide a steady pressured environment and avoid drops in pressure, leakages, and heat damage, and to keep your turbo operating optimally.
These lines are ideal in custom turbo oil feeds, and custom cooling hoses to support engine efficiency and engine life.
3. Fuel, Oil, and Coolant Hoses
Best for: Fuel delivery, oil coolers, coolant circuits, and general performance applications
When you need complete customization, our oil, fuel, and coolant hoses have you covered. Available in AN6 to AN20 sizes, these hoses work seamlessly with a variety of fluids and setups.
Use our online hydraulic hose builder to select the right core, braiding, length, and accessories to match your system requirements.
Premium Accessories: Banjo Bolts and Brake Bleed Nipples
A hose is only as reliable as the fittings and accessories it connects with. That’s why we offer a full range of banjo bolts, brake bleed nipples, and hose-end fittings to match your build.
- Banjo bolts allow for tight-angle fluid routing, especially in compact engine bays.
- Brake bleed nipples make it easier to bleed your brake system, ensuring no air remains in your lines.
These small components are crucial for maintaining pressure integrity and leak-free performance — especially when working with custom systems.
Build Your Hose, Your Way
We offer pre-made and customizable hose solutions so you can start configuring right away. Our user-friendly configurator allows you to select:
- Inner core material (PTFE or rubber)
- Braiding style (stainless steel or black nylon)
- Length, fittings, and accessories
- Optional heat sleeve
Whether you’re replacing stock hoses or starting from scratch, this level of control ensures a perfect fit and maximum performance for your system.
Why Our Hoses Stand Out
Engineered to the extremes and constructed to be fast, this speed solution is ideal for racing, drifting, drag, and custom street machines. It provides durability and power, being made of high-grade materials that can endure heavy heat and pressure. Our experienced technicians have you covered whether you are here to tune the track or the street, to customize every one of your set-ups to your machine. Every hose is put through rigorous testing and has the peace of mind of a warranty, so your investment will serve every race, season, or spirited drive.
Conclusion
An intelligent choice makeover with any high-performance car or truck is moving to custom braided hoses. Such hoses are not merely component parts, they are precision-designed components that protect your complete fluid system. With better materials, professional-grade fittings, and unlimited customization with featured banjo bolts and bleed nipples, you are not just upgrading performance, you have built-in protection for your build.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What makes braided hoses better than standard rubber hoses?
Braided hoses are resistant to high temperatures and pressures and therefore they are more resilient and move the substance being transferred more efficiently in high-pressure conditions.
2. Can I customize hose length and fittings for my vehicle?
Yes! With our online configurator on the home page, you can select hose length, braiding, fittings, etc according to the requirements of your vehicle.
3. Are these hoses suitable for both cars and motorcycles?
Absolutely. These are custom brake and clutch lines that are made to fit both cars and bikes in a made-to-measure manner in perfect fitments.
4. What are banjo bolts used for in custom hoses?
The Banjo bolts enable tight-angle hose connections which are normally found in brake, fuel, or turbo systems that are tight on space.
5. Do the hoses come with a warranty or return policy?
Yes, we do, all our custom-designed premade hoses have a 2-year warranty and a hassle-free 100-day money-back guarantee.
