Any idea what type plastic is used on the OEM PCV system plumbing tubes

Just as it states, I'd like to know what type plastic Ford used to manufacture their PCV system tubes.  It has the right quality for under hood temps and oil resistance and can be heated and bent for a cleaner catch can install look.
Also, I'm going with the RX can on a 2013 SHO. Someone posted about poor performance on their RX can on the SHO and went to Mc Nally and the findings had something to do with the location it was ported into the turbo inlet tube(s). Does anyone have a spec on how close to the turbo inlet the tap in should be?

Not sure about an actual "spec". The closer to the turbos you can get on the intake side, the higher the vacuum. On my XSport, I tapped into two places on my intake piping. On the front side, I attached to where the cleanside vent attaches using a PCV connector; the other point I used was the rear BOV port on the intake plumbing. Those two points tee together and run to one of the vacuum ports on my RX can.

The other vacuum source pulls from the side of my intake manifold.

No drilling required. :)

EDIT: not sure about the type of plastic they use in the OE PCV system

I believe the PCVent system is made from a thin layer of PVC,a synthetic plastic polymer. Z
