Hard vacuum lines ?

Has anyone been successful in using hard vacuum lines (PFFE) with VITON or silicone connectors ?

My AMG Mercedes wagon and the twin-turbo V12 AMG CL65 use hard vacuum lines like those found here:

Thanks,

teflon and viton aren't needed in a rotary engine bay...a bit over kill. If your FD can sustain 600 knots at about 55,000 ft...request a quote.

I think the problem with the hard vacuum lines is trying to shape them into the tight bends that would be needed. Really, a good silicone vacuum hose job just slap isn't gonna fail. Do it right, and they won't pop off or cause any problems. It's cheap too .
