I'll be straight to my questions:
Why them fuel lines are hard plastic? Looks like they're heat-clamped or smth...
Is there much pressure from fuel pump for them to be hard plastic?
Will the world end if I replace them with good quality braded rubber ones and good clamps?

I want to make my own intake covers, different than original ones and mainly to hide fuel lines and injector wires. I want to bend fuel lines slightly closer to injector wires, as well as tuck in that fuel line T-splitter upwards to hide it but there's no flex at all in original fuel lines...
 
Braided rubber is regular fuel hose designed for nothing but gravity feed pressure.

That hard nylon is fuel injection hose.

You could swap it out with flexible fuel injection hose and appropriate fuel injection hose clamps.

I'm surprised you haven't made carbon fiber fuel lines
 
I used to buy spools of AC Delco flexible, high-pressure hose on Amazon, but it doesn't seem to ever be in stock now. You have to be careful, because the 'professional' line can not be used for fuel injected systems, only the 'specialty'. probably Lordco can get it near you.

amazon has a few other brands now, but not ones I recognize... probably fine, but fires are only fun *after* motorbiking.
 
I have cut the hard line on CARC models & replaced it w/SAE30R14 Gates , it's good for EFI, ethanol & biofuels. You want to check on pressure max.
 
Guys, love you all, thanks for the input👊
I'm glad I asked, the screw-up would've been catastrophic lol
I found few options but them lines looks a bit thick. I suppose they have to be for rated PSI but kinda defeats my purpose to minimalize everything. My local Lordco is kinda small but I'll go check if they have anything that I can touch it and feel it...
