[GUY DAY]

The lining of the pipe depends on the manufacturer and the specification 
asked for.  There are many makers of SS braided lines and you cannot apply a 
blanket comment on all types.  One of the reasons braided is thought well of 
is because after 5 years the S.S. outer cover still hides the normally 
visible cracks in the pipe.
A old friend who owns a company that makes braided pipes of all types for 
aircraft suggests that on a car they should be changed every couple of years 
because of the possibilities of hidden dangers.  ( He doesn't on his cars 
!!!)
Both Ed and Kees are right.  Goodrich may well make a Teflon lined SS pipe 
but they will also make a rubber one.
