Yea, you're right. Braided hose and fittings cost a lot by them selves.It's a nice kit, with braided lines, nice fittings, and a well thought-out mounting bracket (albeit one that eliminates any possibility of mounting it anywhere but in front of the radiator). Meanwhile the old FRPP oil cooler kit with standard rubber hose, barbed fittings, and figure-it-out-yourself mounting brackets has been discontinued, and it was about $150. This one would be more palatable in the $300 range, and a bargain at $250.
