ok this is my thoughts on this topic. a quality muffler by apexi and tanabe and all that is prolly gonna cost around $200-300. now if u add CF to that its prolly gonna jump up $150. now theres gonna be tons of rocks flyin at it and tons of heat so if it is REAL CF it woould crack and warp. now if u get a cheap noname or APC[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] muffler wiht CF on it im betting that its prolly gonna be a sticker of some sort

CF if done right is durable... comon i've seen people drive over their CF hoods... it held shape....

I think cf could work?...I knew of a friend that had a cf exhaust on his bike. He put his hand on it without burning his hand...I dunno...I'm no expert on this...[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

the TVR Tuscan has dual carbon fiber exhaust stock, so it's prove that it does work, but if you're already out for an expensive muffler why not buy a Titanium muffler??

I too have a cf on my gsxr. you can run the sh@t outta of it and then touch it and not get burnt, but id say it has no purpose for a car, its not like your legs are going to bump it or anything. I suppose you could put a streetbike exhaust on your car if you really must have cf and want it to last.
