Glad you avoided a nasty accident LoB, must've been very scary...
I once had braided hoses on a 1999 Alfa GTV I had years back, and one hose split whilst the mechanic was test driving it. They found it had been rubbing on something – which the regular OE pipes never would have – and it had frayed and split. I went back to OE pipes and have never fitted braided hoses since. Your 'snapped' hose looks odd, was it being pulled at too tight an angle?
