Yes it will. Those lines are made for expansion pressure...meaning it takes 140psi to burst through it, not suck it in. I know you want to have a little bling factor goin' on, but normal vaccum line is best. I also wrap either an all purpose wire twisted down tight or zip ties on the vaccum T's and nipples...my motor has a tendency of blowing them off.
