Would black pipe valves work? What other plumbing parts should I use? __________________ 2000 CC/SB 4x4, MBRP stainless 4", Aero Turbine muffler, HPX, CCV, 6637, Edge Evolution, AutoMeter gauges, 2009 mirrors, 17.5 MPG!

If you have to just weld black iron pipe with threads so you can screw on your valves? __________________ 01' 7.3 4X4 DRK MTLC BLU, DP Tuner F5, AEM Intake, 4" Turboback Silverline Exhaust, BTS VB, AEM digital gauges(pyro, boost controller, trans temp), CCV mod, Rebuilt Injectors, Fuel tank Mods, 203T, 6.0 Trans Cooler, 185,000K and original tranny, so far so good.

I just priced 2 inch brass valves - Holy Cow!!! __________________ 2005 F350 Harley: Heat Induction Hood, ARE Bed Cover, DashHawk, MBRP turbo back, cat delete, SCT: Tunes by Spartan, Exhaust Sound Videos HERE

Fastcote the PVC valves will work but will not be as durable, possible mess to deal with one of these days if your unlucky. __________________ Tom 95 F250XL PSD SuperCab AUTO E4OD TEE5 code, Diablo Delta flip chip, 3"Downpipe, Vegistroke V3 , HX Mod, Glowplug Bypass switch, JVC MP3 Player, Tymar Intake, Sonnax valve and Tricumulator springs, 4R100 Tranny Pan W\drain plug, Autometer Lunar Boost, Tranny Temp and Pyro gauges in a A-Pillar Pod, Gutted EBPV, Magnafine ATF Filter, Tymar Coolant Filter, Crystal Headlights, AC Mod, OilGuard Bypass, BABY SWAMPS!! 288k and still Smokin
