Default VPO pipes?

ya I went to a hardware store lately and when I asked for ABS, they just looked at me all funny like they have no idea what it is.
So I asked where I can find some plastic pipes, they led me to the selections and all I could find was white PVC (Odd color for tires) and a dark grey-ish VPO (Its heavier than the PVC) so my question is will VPO work like any other plastic pipe substitute?

Best thing to do is buy it and try it out. The reason why some areas might not have it because it may not be allowed in the building code for the area.

Ya I put it on and it doesn't really corner that well.. But thats probably cuz I didn't sand out a curve on the edge of the tires. But they'd probably wear down when I start drifting more. And I'd get to that right away the minute i fix my current problems on my TT01
