pvc boost pipes
 
I just wanted to know if anyone has used pvc piping for boost pipes and actually got away with it?

In short, they can melt and suck ass......Don't be that cheap, it's ok to be cheap, but not that much damnit >:( >:( :-*.

Go to a junkyard and pull out ramdom intake duct pieces from cars, just get a bunch of different bends you could use and create your pipes.

You can use a little piece of metal pipe in the junction with clamps to tie them all together.

Or go to a parts store and grab some radiator hoses with the right bends, cut and clamp together.

This is all ghetto but works a hell of a lot better than PVC.

I got real close, but the cops eventually caught up with me and arrested me.

That will be almost as cheap as PVC except it's quality.

PVC is really ghetto looking. But to clear a few things up, it does NOT melt and put off these mysterious killer fumes lol. I am proud to say I rocked PVC charge pipes for 2yrs on my very first setup. That ---- was sexy :1

Why not just go ABS? PVC is white and looks gay, plus I'd be a bit iffy on putting any plastic pipe on my hot side IC piping.
