Default Leaking fuel hoses

The parallel fuel mod was done on my car 6 years ago by RCM and unfortunatley some of the fuel hoses have started leaking.

I have replaced two already but i think i would be happier replacing all the fuel hoses.

Is there a quality rubber hose i could use or would i be better using braided ones.Thanks in advance.

As long as you get the genuine Goodridge products you won't get better tbho.
I've only used goodridge as I also wasn't sure on the quality of any other products

Braided doesnt mean it is better quality! But as prodriverules says, a good make and you cant go wrong. I“ve got matt black, teflon coated on mine. Doesn“t look as pretty, but does the job.
