It will work fine just watch out it doesn't deteriorate on you with the fuels and oils in ur engine bay. I know some if that flexible corrugated plastic is really thin and can also cut really easy. |

Vacuum cleaner hose tends to be corrugated which will disrupt airflow. You're better off with something smooth... |

Can't find an article to back me up, but thats not always correct  has alot to do with air speed as well.
