Carbonfibre tubes for exhaust
Is there any alternative to PJ engineering to source carbonfibre tubing suitable for exhaust building?
Not that PJ not is good but if any alternative is on the market i would like to see the menue

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Just to clarify...to build an exhaust muffler!
Not downpipes etc.

Easiest way would be to recycle an R1 carbon can.
Something like this one.

iank,
Yes that would be one feasible way and also keep noise down alot.
But im aiming for an straight flow thru solution but with an resonable noise killing effect. Much like an bike aftermarket slip on for trackday use
etc.
My aim is thou to make an "bigger,longer" version than most bikes use.

I used a Wiley Co carbon can as used as an alternative can for a 2000 Suzuki 1200 Bandit.
The guys at www.powerandperformance.co.uk made me up a flange to couple to the header link pipe.
These guys are well worth a look for anyone looking at a bespoke system...they're the muts nuts and can work their magic on any vehicle,
standard, custom or kit car!!
It is no longer than a bike can, the end cap outlet is angled slightly greater than the R1 in the picture. The net result is that it throws the hot
fumes away from the rear wing...a longer can with an R1 type end cap may result in a burnt rear wing.
The Wiley Co can is a straight through design, it works very well, but it's loud  Best of luck. Steve
