> Not to sound noobish, but do you use the cutoff wheel for braided stainless line? How clean of cuts does that make? I know that the line frays no matter what you use but I bought the Cutting tool that summit sells and I have never been impressed by the quality of cuts it makes after I remove the tape.

Don’t tape the line when using the cutting tool. it wont fray. use tape only if using a cutoff wheel, or similar method. I have had nothing but clean cuts using the tool from summit. Cutoff wheel works well, but you have to clean the line thoroughly as bits of metal and rubber can get in the line.

As for this build, i give it :tup: :tup:

edit: for what the tool costs, its worth it’s weight in gold if your going to be doing alot of AN lines.

Try cutting with a big sharp chisel on a block of alum, think that’s the best. I did all the nitrous/fuel on Brandon z06 with a cutoff wheel and tape, that works too. Car looks great, if you run a exhaust the Evac isn’t gona work.
