HAHAHA.

So would the schedule 40 fittings be alright with the heat in the engine compartment?

 

Is it possible? Yes.
Would I trust it / Would I use it as a sealant? Only for a permanent repair. Meaning: if you have a problem with the pcv fitting, it is likely not going to come out without breaking.

 

yeah... once its on i hope it wont have to come off for a while. in only asking because i dont think the aluminum tailpipe will be thick enough to tap threads and hold the fitting securely enough.

 

Absolutely. The primary difference between schedule 40 and 80 (and 120) is the wall thickness and has little to do with temperature ratings (unless you're dealing with electrical wiring) or pressure rating (unless you're dealing with high-pressure gas or liquids).

 

Gotcha, thanks again.

 

so let me get this straight...(im a little slow) Tap threads into my 3" aluminum pipe and screw in a 90 degree male pvc fitting with a barbed end, use a little bit of sealant and im good to go?

 

Yea, sounds right. Do you have the link that has the full install write up?

Here it is if you dont.

^^^ looks great but how will i know what size will fit? is that just a generic tube? and does it have the 2 right size fittings? you didn't have to mod anything? i hate finding things out after its too late.

 

How much was that set up by the way? What did it come with?

 

Heres mine:


*picture down*

I simply went down to the local exhaust shop, had them bend me a tube. Went to the hardware store and got two straight barbed (brass) fittings. I forget the size sorry. You can get the barb and the threads in different sizes.

I also got two rubber hose clamps. Baisicly a 3x3" long peice of rubber, with a band of aluminum around it with two hose clamps. I obviously removed the metal.

To install just drill the holes for the fittings, tap, apply sealant to threads and install. These things are not under THAT much force, no need for a nut... if that nut came off and got sucked into your TB....

 

Yea i just need to find some rubber tube for making the couplers, i looked all over lowes and home depot and i didnt and rubber that big.

 

I spent like $47. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku made it work.

 

broken link

 

too late^^ lol sorry

 

Link didnt work.

 

BTW - Mine cost:

$10 - exhaust tube
$10 - fittings and band clamps.
$0 - 2 coats of hi-temp black pain I had laying around

And I paid too much.... The best thing about this mod as it can look good and be cheap!

 

yeah it was the same link as the one above mine...his is the correct one. ive seen that done before and heard good things....i just want to make my own because blu's is so clean and black. i might end up buying the prefitted chrome one because making one is no longer cheap.(good fittings are too expensive) i cant make my mind up if i want to go with the pvc and make my own or put up another $50 and order that off summit.....

 

Thats why I wanna build mine, $20 worth of parts and ppl charge $50 for it.

 

Yea I hear ya, Ill probably go with the pcv fittings if i cant find any other ones. I just need to find some rubber tube for making couplers.
