yea...steel would definitely be the best way no matter how u look at it i guess. although if that setup was on my car it might be fine cause the PCV would be right in the path of my airflow, since i have a hoodscoop, so that would cool it down too. i dont suppose steel is all that much more expensive so u might as well do it right and make it strong as u can the first time, it would sure suck to have the PCV go on u when u floored it. i havent seen metal piping that is short and bent nice like that, although its probably out there, not sure what it would cost though.
