FS: V-tube Z-tube larger diameter than oem
well if you are gonna make these and try and sell them the price should be lower than what you can get a Z-tube for, which is $40-$60
That is no more than $5 in materials(pvc/glue/pvc rimer(if used)/paint) per tube

I suggest the original maker rethink using a different material, because....
I still wouldnt feel safe using toilet piping that is mainly used for water on something that can heat up, engine bay heat can get up to 110 degrees or more depending on where you live!!! Especially on these G35s, used to have a car with a Intake Air Sensor and it would register 100+degrees on days like this! 
You think a PVC pipe was made to handle that kind of heat??

^I would never put pvc on a $35k car anyways, enen if it were safe, and its ugly. But PVC is accually pretty strong. When i did HVAC(Heating and Air) we would use pvc for our exhaust vents, and that is well over 100F

and no PVC will not melt,,
melting temperatures are above 180 degrees
most intake tubes stay around 100-120 degrees

Bad news to use PVC pipe!! Your better off using the intake kits they have at Pep boys that have bends in them...

one that Im selling is perfect for the VQ with just a slight surface area increase just right for modified engines.

You gotta be a gump to pay 60+ for this.
And if you want to be selling these in bulk OP, i suggest you look into being a sponsor.

for the price might as well get a z-tube.... OEM FTW or save up and get a real intake.... intakes will barely give you hp unless its tuned like grant said...it gives a better sound when ur on it....maybe better mileage

STOCK 350z and g35 throttle body is 70mm ,,
a required intake tube should be 25% larger compared to throttle body,,
this translates into 87.5 mm or 3.44 inches intake tube
currently OEM Z-tube is at 72mm or 2.83 inches
so OEM INTAKE TUBE (ZTUBE) IS FOR SURE UNDERSIZED
