This pipe is a low pressure pipe, so my guess would be yes, so long as it doesn't collapse. But I am not an engineer, so not sure if there aren't other issues.
However, see this thread too:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=21672&p=285825#p28582Cliff got one made so they may have kept the template. There may be a case for getting a group buy going. I need a new one, although it hasn't failed yet. And Powersteering store are only about 5 miles from where I live.

I think SJSportscars have reproduced this and other PAS parts that had been obsolete. They are listed on the their website.
Not cheap though.
