Rep Power: 305

i was thinking of what i wanted to do with color of my turbo pipes. they are si blue right now. The turbo kit isn't installed yet, i am just brainstorming some ideas. i was thinking of contacting some carbon fiber companies to see if they could make molds of my pipes. my quesstion to you guys is will i have problems with strength or pressure inside the cf. i'm not sure how strong it would be. i think this would look really badass if it could be done. what you guys think?

dont make them full CF. just buy soem CF and lay it on top. it will look just as good and be just as sturdy

yea i would imagine it might be expensive.. how does cf react towards heat? i remember reading about the cf intake manifold on Hondatech? it made a pretty good difference in temperature.

CF intake mani's are like $2,000

i bet your pipes will be $1,000

hmm thats an option too.. def cheaper

hm yea def too expensive.. would the cf overlay possibly melt or burn up in the engine bay? the pipes were powdercoated but the dont seem to have any heat damage. is it more like sticker-like cf stuff? any idea on where i could find some of that.. maybe reynold's wrap will come out with it..

I've never seen it done and there is probably a reason for that. you could always get a carbon fiver pattern printed on it.

CF is a vinyl fabric material. you would lay it over like you would fiberglass. it should hold up.
