I already suggested that idea a while back...

It won't work.

Why?

Sand + heat = glass...

you dont heat it that much, your only using the tourch of a shop, or less than that, i doubt that it would turn into glass

I am using 1/16" metal. It needs to get red to get a good propper bend. My neigbor did this a while back for one of the custom turbo set ups for his 350 truck. he advises against it highly. he had several glass filled tubes....(Still in his garage too as a reminder)
