If I had to, I would go white and spray it black.

just get some steel pipe and Home Depot couplers. Seriously add it up and see what the price differance is.

go touch anything in the engine bay and you'll see right away that it gets over 73 easily. PVC will melt, but first will fume which will f up our engine. not good. go buy some bends from jcwhitney or summitt
