Default cheap brake ducting material

i did a search on google and found that silicone ducting material cost about 6-11 dollars a foot. that means you'll need to spend about 60-70 bucks if you want to duct your front and rear brakes.

however, i found vaccuum hoses at sears for a lot cheaper.

do you guys think this will work? they are 20ft for 22 dollars. 5 feet should be more than enough per brake to do your entire car. the only thing is, i don't know if this will melt. i have a feeling it should since it's not directly touching the rotor anyways, just the control arms.

They don't touch the rotor so go ahead and cheap out.
