DIY Torque Tube

I was wondering how easy it would be to make something to the effect of a torque tube. It seems like you should be able to put like a 4in piece of PVC or something in place of the baffle tube (I'm not sure what the actual name is). I saw a part that replaces just the baffle tube in Geno's Garage, and that is all I need. I don't really need the actual Torque Tube, it's too expensive and I don't see the need. Any ideas? Thanks.

any metal pipe is more prone to sweating than plastic. and if it does whats it gonna hurt??? i know water methanol injection is after the turbo but i dont think a little sweat will cause anything. my k&n is the same as pvc pretty much

Consider gutting the stock tube baffles.
I know some members did this using a hacksaw and cutting the vanes out of the tube.
