 Subject: HOMEBREW COLD AIR INTAKE

Message:
I've been seaching this site for info on making my own cold air intake for my '00 R/T. I appears that using PVC may work, but high temps under the hood make it questionable. Using metal tubing defeats the cold air intake since it retains heat so well. I called my local plumbing wholesaler and he suggested CPVC. Below is a something I found on a website http://www.ppfahome.org/cpvc/ that shows it may be perfect for what I am trying to do with it. In fact, it is good to 180 degrees and is recommended for fire sprinklers. What do you think??
Industrial CPVC pipe is manufactured by extrusion in sizes from ¼" to 12" diameter to Sch 40, Sch 80, and SDR (Standard Dimension Ratio) dimensions.
CPVC pipe for plumbing systems is manufactured by extrusion in sizes ¼" through 2" copper tube size (CTS) dimensions. The CTS plumbing products are made to copper tube outside diameter dimensions, in accordance with ASTM D-2846 specifications, and have an SDR 11 wall thickness. The pressure ratings of the CTS SDR 11 systems are 400 psi (pounds per square inch) at 73 F and 100 psi at 180 F. CPVC plumbing pipe is sold in both straight lengths and (in small diameters) coils.
USES/APPLICATIONS
CPVC piping which is suitable for hot and cold water distribution has a 400 psi pressure rating at room temperature, and a 100 psi pressure rating at 180 F.
CPVC materials are resistant to many everyday household chemicals.
Since CPVC materials do not support combustion, they cannot burn without an external fuel source. This property makes CPVC pipe an attractive alternative to steel and copper pipe for fire sprinkler applications. CPVC fire sprinkler piping systems are approved for light hazard applications and for use in single and multifamily dwellings. Installation shall be in accordance with the NFPA Section 13, 13D, and 13R.

You may want to look into wrapping the pvc with heat resitant wrap. Thermotech makes some and is sold at many auto parts supply places. I have not used it and can't vouch for it, i just saw some the other day.

I've been using standard PVC for over five years and all is well. It's not melting, I'm not dying of some exotic disease....

Mr wrong,
I've got about a 12" piece of PVC in my Homebrew intake on my 4.7.
I've been lifting the hood, disconnecting the intake, and breathing thru it, just about every night now. Both my 4.7 and I haven't died yet!
But you did say it was slow, it's been about 4 years, how slow am I dying.
You know, I learned in school, that the mortality rate of Humans, is 100%!
