You'll probably end up getting some kind of plastic/pvc. Try home depot

But if you're going the aluminum route, how do you plan to get the bends at the right places ?

i may be wrong in this but i have heard that when PVC gets to its meltdown point it creats harmful gasses. the engine bay may or may not reach that, dont know... but i would use another material.

Yes regular PVC will emit Chlorine which is no good for you engine. If you want a similar pipe that you can buy at a home depot or hardware store get ABS Pipe. It looks like Black PVC.

i am kinda not in the mood to go through shipping. how much is ABS plastic and do I have to bend it myself, or are there ones that are already bent? i am not sure, i think i might just buy it from that guy

So get a SRI made out of PCP and then you... oh wait.. I guess when that gets hot you'd be in the same sorta trouble
