Tubular manifold: catch can hoses melting

[SHIFT_*grind*]

I have an Espelir manifold and CS catch can (stock can won't fit, of course) and the hoses running to the can, and also to the crankcase vent, are melting. It's the stock shitty vinyl-ish hose that came with the can.

Suggestions?

I was just going to get some braided -10AN stainless line and use that, but wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem. Could I get by with high-temp silicone hose, plus maybe some of that heat-resistant sleeving?

Ive just been using 5/8 inch heater hose with no problem and have been driving 3 hours + almost every weekend.

if you have the money just do the an fitting with ss braided hoses cause if that doesn't solve the problem then obviously something else is wrong

wait - u put the catch can where the oil seperator was? that doesnt really go there... I mean its not bad - but its not very effective.

u can just run a hose there.

Nope, the catch can is at the front of the car. The hose between the valve cover T and the crankcase vent (where the stock can would be) is melting, as is the hose running from the T to the catch can.

Is heater hose going to be better than this hose that came with the can? I mean, I knew it was shitty hose, but I didn't know it was THAT bad =\

heater hose is good shit. I can't recall having one ever melt on me, if it's that bad they get brittle and crack, but I've only seen that on old cars and my 66+k mile bike
