Q:
What type of plastic should I use on my air intake tube?

It is a point of minor contention but I think its worthwhile to use ABS pipe instead of PVC:

1. It is more temperature resistant.
2. It is less brittle and less likely to shatter in an accident. The last thing you want in an accident is for pieces of plastic melting on your cylinder walls.
3. Most of the big plastic stuff under your hood is ABS type plastic anyway.
4. ABS costs about the same and is found at the same locations where PVC can be found.
5. ABS is designed for use in vibration/impact prone environments.
