Don't use PVC no matter what, when it gets heated, it realeases chlorine gas.....highly toxic.</P>

Or...you could just go to AutoZone and get a 90*mandrel bend of exhaust pipe for under $10 with a couple feet of straight pipe on each end.</P>


</P>


I'll bet you'll have plenty of material and a good enough of a bend to make your own. A pipe's a pipe.....does it really matter what it's original intention was?</P>

If you have ever seen a Densecharger they are made out of ABS like the drain waste and vent in most homes. This guy probably makes a killing (sells them from $80 to $150). You can pick up the same parts that come in his kit from your local home depot or whatever the hell you have there? All these parts can be picked up for a fraction of the price, that is the way I would go.
