2 things I need..

I need to make a custom pipe for my pcv valve.. it is now at the back part of the valve cover instead of front.. what kind of tubing could I use that won't colapse with the suction / bends?

also.. would 1/2" aluminum pipe be good enough for custom smog pump hookups? and anyone know where to find it? I looked at local hardware store without luck..

Jeff,

½" aluminum, steel, or even rubber emissions hose would suffice. If you use tubing, make sure there are no kinks at bends (use a mandrel). The factory pieces on TPIs were steel with black paint, but aluminum would look cool, too. Plain emissions hose would work fine, but might not be as aesthetically pleasing as custom bent tubing.
