Intercooler Rubber Hoses

Why does the factory use metal and rubber hoses for the intercooler piping?

why do civics rev on me? why is my bro a ***? how many licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop? the world may never know. I would think to lower costs down versus silicone hoses.

Rubber is cheap and cuts down production costs.
