Actually yes. I was in poor judgement and bought the pretty blue hoses and my braking is suffering for it.
The vaccum source at high RPM can actually CLOSE the tube and stop the vaccum from getting to the Booster. I've seen the whole hose Kink itself off when then engine is revved.
Stick to stock rubber.
