I read a thread where a guy used either ABS or PVC and it started to deform due to heat.

yes the plastic will deform due to the heat but you can cure that by putting 2 screws in your couplers after the clamps. cant blow off a coupler that is screwd to the pipe

my ---- was blowing left and right at 12 pounds heh. id get one good pull in second and at like 6k POP. i think it was a mix of home depot couplers, cut up aluminum pipe and the movement from the engine (was always the hot side).

Took a grinder the ground like a reverese bead into it and it worked decent.
