I would use like the galvanized angle bends you can get at Ace. A- They are Metal and wont melt, B- They swing around like crazy, C- the come in many sizes, D- I am using them now and they work great, you just have to coat them in like undercoating so that they don't swing around much, and bolt it down. I tried PVC at one point too, this stuff is much more effective.
My first import ran on rice, this one runs on style.

I think thats a myth, I had a PVC intake at one point and it never melted, nor have never heard of anyone dying because of PVC inhalation in their car. I got rid of it though becuase it looked like crap and was extremely heavy.
