I've done some nitrous plumbing in SS. It can be double flared if it is annealed. Requires a good flaring tool. Some people feel it doesn't need to be double flared for brake lines, although I don't agree. Probably overkill for most unless you want to polish it for a show car look.
I haven't used it in a long time. I prefer the old style "Bundyflex" zinc coated steel. Harder than the CuNi and green coated stuff. But not so much so that it is miserable to work.
If appearances matter, it can be cleaned up with some fine scotch brite and WD40 to a nice satin look.
