I would at least use schedule 40 PVC. It's twice as thick.

I used PVC it worked..gonna use it again. Cause I can't get any mandrel bends here...and if i could it would probably be really expensive...like 80 bucks for a U pipe.

Thanx for the heads up !! That's a pretty good deal IMO. But my engine is and alway will be a mess. I fix it, and two days later take it apart agian...
