Default using exhuast for catch can vacuum.......what tubing???

i have recently changed set ups and cant run a vacuum from the turbo anymore to evacuate pressure from my catch can.

some frineds of mine have run the exhaust bung, and had some tubing from that to thier catch cans,

but what kind of tubing will withstand some decent heat??

i know the DP doesnt get too too hot all the way towards the end but still what type or brand of tubing should i use, i cant stand that gassy oily smell after i run my car hard

i used a old piece of metal coolant line that i found in my junk bin, i think its about 3/8" ID. Slash cut and welded into my downpipe, about 24" from turbo. The tube itself is about 15" long pointing up towards my intake manifold, then i use a peice of fuel hose clamp it on. oily/gassy smell tells me that its working.

you can see the tiny tube tacked into the downpipe, it points up, going to hose and finally to an aftermarket pcv valve.
