I did it too, used the grey piping - worked for a small amount of time.
The problem I had with it was heat related. The hoses kept wanting to pop off becaue the piping itself was warping and melting.
Take out of step's advice and go get some muffler shop to bend you up some hard pipes.

Now there's the best reason to use PVC...a mock up for getting the real deal welded up!
lol sinse i have a 2.5 exhaust on the car and its some getto fab creation from the guy i bought the car from i might just hack that up and use it as charge pipes.
Eh, probably not a good idea unless you clean out the piping.. they're all carbon coated inside..
PVC works great as long as you take the finished product before you install it, and get some exhaust tubing that has the same OD as the PVC's ID, and press it in the inside of the PVC pipe.
That will make it more stable under heat where the clamps are placed, as it's braced on the inside to protect against collapsing.
I just don't like the look of it.. it's too ghetto.
If you do it right, well, you're not technically doing it "right" using PVC, but if you route it right, you won't see any of the pipe connections and people won't know it's PVC until you tell them.
