I have had the flu for a couple days, so I've crawled all over this blessed site...and now I'm going to stop lurking and suggest a few things.

PVC is really durable, and I've seen it closer to a turbo manifold than I ever would have imagined and it surviving. Plus who cares about noxious fumes, let the engine have 'em...maybe it's like nitrous...nox...nos... ok terrible joke.

Seriously though, I'd wrap some heat shielding around those pipes just for fun, I'd expect those rubber connectors would fail from combined heat long before the PVC began to decompose... I usually used high-temp aluminum paint from the auto parts store whenever I found myself using PVC. It looks better, like real metal. It rejects some of the heat being reflective and actually a metal based coating. It makes it easier to spot areas where the piping is rubbing a part of the body/motor.

Ok now I'm going back to trolling in the sections where I belong.
