The hoses shown in the pics above are not good for this application. They will collapse under vacuum. Add in engine heat and they'll be flat in no time.

You get obtain "pretty" vacuum hoses in a multitude of bright colors.
I used to work with those internally braided "Tygon" tubing in the lab for years. They were great for carrying "pressure". Crap for "vacuum". This has been reported here also by those who have had these on their cars for even a short time.

Eh...the part itself really does nothing for performance anyway. Its just another chrome piece under the hood.
