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.

Obviously the higher the air speed the worse it is, but moving air against a corrugated surface is bound to create turbulence...
