Thanks guys I just want to be sure as much as possible.Normally I can tell asbestos right away.
If it is Transite, which contains asbestos, replacement is a better option. Especially being duct pipe.

1974 would be about right Transite still in use personally never had a problem with it unless jagged or broke up transite is about as slick as PVC
