More than likely he got them from a local shop that carries Earl's Hoses. I don't think you can run those with a stock radiator, for some reason I remember someone telling me this. I'm sure Kurtis or Chris can chime in to clarify.

you can run braided hoses almost everywhere except the big hoses going into the radiator. the stock radiator is plastic where those hoses connect - braided hoses which are more rigid will crack the plastic.

if you want a braided 'look', but don't want to replace your radiator, you can get braided sleeving that will go over your stock hoses.
