topspeed header. Is double braided and 2 ply flex pipe the same thing?

I need to replace the flex pipe on my top speed header next week. So i need to get a flex pipe coming soon. I can't find anything from vibrant like others have used, out of business?

I found this one on summit, but I am not sure if its double braided it just says 2 ply. I would prefer to order from them as i could use some other stuff from them. its also only a few hours away so I can get it quick.

This is the double braided I found on ebay.

I tried the Vibrant... it failed within a year. How long has your Topspeed header lasted with the original flexpipe?
I don't think it really matters which you get of those two - I think they're the same thing or close enough. It really must be the geometry of the DC/Topspeed headers that's slightly off enough to rip the flex every so often.
