I believe you mis-read my post. I'm _not_ looking for bling. Therefore stainless lines, AN fittings and brass fittings are not what I'm looking for.

:o I stand corrected, I did misread your post.

Some of the same companies (EARL'S, AEROQUIP, RUSSEL) that make braided stainless hose and various AN fittings/ends also make braided rubber hose. It's very durable and high pressure (not needed with a catch can). It might be considered oem w/o being to much "bling".

This is a poor image, but research of their sites might interest you...

I would venture to say that since GM chose to have bare aluminum in the C5 engine bays, aluminum components that are not anodized, painted, or chromed do have that OEM look.
