Ernest,

My MAP lines are nowhere near my exhaust, so I don't have a problem
with melting the lines.  In your case I would suggest using steel or
SS tubing (brake line is available in various lengths at most auto
parts stores) in the really hot areas.  I would also use a heat shield
to guard the MAP line from infra red heat.

This is my MAP line. The heat of the exhaust comes up beside the intake
manifold and melted it. I replaced the melted section with a piece of 3/16"
aluminum tube. That conducted the heat better, and caused it to melt faster.
The package said it was high temp, but I don't think they anticipated the
rotary version of high temp.

What are you guys using?
