Whatever you do make sure your hoses are rated for transmission cooler line applications (usually around 300 deg F).  I've seen a couple spectacular failures where auxiliary transmission oil coolers were installed with inferior hose.

While it is possible to use braided stainless steel it doesn't have an infinite life cycle. It will require the need to be changed out in possibly 10 years because it will breakdown. If you run stainless hardline you'll never have to touch it again.

I make hard lines and use them. If I were going to use flexible lines, I would contact Pegasus Racing or look at their catalog online and get what they recommend. They have never let me down.
