why not go with exhaust pipe? at least that will take a wack where plastic will just shit itself.

pvc won't shit itself, i had 4" pvc snokokel on my patrol. looks good with some paint.

it was one of the only things that survived a rollover. just a few scratches.

when making it i went with the thought of if it breaks, i can replace ti cheap enough to replace... now i have hit this hard into trees, rocks, walls, ect and all that has happend is scratches. with a simple matt black spray can, all is fixed. oh, and the top came off once (got caught on a branch and pulled off.. (not glued, so i can spin it)
