I have a new build progressing and I wont be about to attach the carb directly to the stock intake manafold. The frame of the bike is a little smaller but I want to stick with it.
So i am going to extend the intake manafold about 6" so the I can move the carb to a different spot on the bike(I have read that a longer intake manafold can help tune the bike a bit?). I am thinking of using a plastic tubeing for ease of construction, but a 2 stroke expelles some of its exhaust through the intake and that could heat things up.
So my question is will a plastic coupler between the carb and manafold work or do i have to make some thing out of copper?
here is the bike;

you can see in the engines picture that the carb is mounted behind the clutch cover
