I remember seeing that setup in person, talk about shoehorned in there! I have not seen him since last year. He has an EVO now and I think he no longer has much time to play with cars due to his work.

Can't say I remember what the sleeving is. You may want to head over to http://www.hybridz.org and ask. I am sure someone there knows.

that orange stuff is firesleeve/flameguard. it is a sleeve that protects the hose underneath. it by itself is not a hose.

here's some earl's stuff: http://www.anplumbing.com/shop...Guard

summitracing also carries various types of fire sleeve, just search for it. it's basically a weird rubbery material on the outside that is high temp proof and the inside is fiberglass like exhaust wrap. it works well and you slip it over the hose you want to protect. it's also not necessarily that orange color. a lot of ppl think stainless lines themselves are immune to heat cuz they're stainless steel. the insides of them are still rubber/teflon/hose material and they do go bad and are susceptible to heat. scary thing is a lot of times you won't know cuz the hose looks fine on the outside.
