I need some advice before I try this. Has anyone ever machined up a pipe coupler from virgin Teflon? I keep blowing holes in regular silicone couplers and have always thought Teflon might work well except that it cold flows and gets sloppy. Then I had the idea to make the coupler and wrap it with silicone rescue tape that is rated to over 500 F and bonds to itself, which would seal the Teflon in. The only thing I don't like so far is that the system is rigid and may not do well in vibration. Any thoughts?
The first pic is the Teflon coupler on my 101 Roadrunner. The second pic shows it after I wrapped it with rescue tape.
