Intake Manifold Coolant Bypass Fitting

Anyone ever just use a piece of 3/4 NPT pipe for a $1.25 for this fitting rather than pay Mopar Performance $30 plus shipping? Even a piece this size in brass is only $7.50.

I've seen it done, and think it looks like garbage. Plus you dont have the lip on the end if you are using spring clamps.

Yes $30.00 is out of control. I bought a set (By-pass,Heater hose) fittings on the bay for around $12.00.
