ABS is a much better choice than PVC. Its still a gamble though, as its softening point is around 80 deg. celcius, which would be possible to attain near the engine (I got 63 deg IAT from idling 10 minutes in the driveway...)

I'm still debating whether I could mack a BAT pipe mock up out of ABS. I'll probably chicken out and use aluminized steel, with ceramic paint.

OK, here's another option- pull the rubber mounting ring out of your conical filter and bolt it directly to your maf. drill a 1/2" hole in the backside of the filters ring for installing the (non svt) IAT. May be hard to see in this pic, but the MAF bolts directly to the filter.


4 bolts are threaded through 7/32" holes in back of filter which line up with MAF holes. Spin off 4 nuts to remove and clean the filter. The IAT slips into a rubber grommet on the bottom side of backing ring.

How about using ABS plastic pipe instead of PVC??
