I have been using Silicone Radiator Hose for some of these hoses.
While I realise that they may not be Approved, as Joel notes, where I need
to remove these occasionally  these are a godsend. Like me, they have no
memory, and are simple to remove. With that in mind, I always use two good
quality SS Clamps on them.  For me, the only downside is that they are
pricey, but there is a local  Hose Vendor that has pretty good prices.  I
wouldn't use these for a major suction purpose.
