Default Flexible Charge Piping: Opinions needed

Like the 1g and 2g DSM's have. If I were to source some, I was thinking to use it, because it would be easier to route than aluminum piping which I have to cut and weld and crap like that. But then there's Compression Loss/Boost leaks that I have to worry about. What do you guys think?

Will it work, yes. Would I want to run it on my car, no.

If your dead set on being cheap/lazy, just use some radiator hose.

if you bought silicone tubing from vibrant or another company it would probaly cost more cash than to fab some. jus make them out of metal you will probaly not regret it once your done with a few hours of work.
