Default 3" High Temp Plastic Tubeing?

Hey guys,
Does anyone know where you can buy a High temp 3" plastic tubeing?

I want to build a tuned intake pipe but want something that will not conduct heat.
I orginaly jumped the gun and bought PVC and found out it's not very stable at temps close to 140F, and that it also will give off Chlorine gas when heated to high temps.

My second option was CPVC its good up to 200F but underhood temps can reach 180+ I have read.

So that leaves me looking, if you have any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks

Look into Airaid's UBI kit; they use plastic piping. That's what I'm running.

Was exactly what I was looking for, I'll use PVC to mock up setup and to tune the length I need then I'll cut this to those specs and use it.

I can sell off this password JDm intake and break even.

Yep. I used the 3.5" diameter kit, cut it to what I wanted (using their lines) and used couplers to connect all the pieces.

I need the intake tube to be at lease 16inch's long to start with.

It looks like the 60degree bend part is at max 14" I guess If I add on the velocity stack I might make up the extra 2"
