If the stock parts have not failed I would strongly suggest leaving well enough alone.

If you currently have a warranty it will almost certainly void it and changing the lines will not be of any performance benefit.

They just carry vapors. If you're going to change them either you need to figure out how to use the stock connectors or you're going to have to modify tank side of the connectors for an AN style fitting or a barb style fitting. Seems like a lot of work for non-value added bling. Then again....your car

Go to a local hot rod shop and see what they stock. I used to work on race car plumbing
and you have to be careful with what fits what, etc.
