I am making a very special exhaust pipe. It is very much like a F-117 pipe, which will bifurcate, and the ends will be flattened. I am planning on making the inner pipe from SS, however I would like to make the outer pipe out of carbon fiber. It will allow me to keep the pipe's shape better in the rear, and also allow for easy disassembly or inspection ( would have top/bottom bolt together) I do not think the outer pipe will be getting hot at all, however i would like to have the carbon laid up with something that would also if need be heat resistant. AC composites sells a high temp laminating epoxy that is intended for the making of tuned pipes, and exhausts, i though of using that ... anyone have any other products you could recommend ?

also I may be wrong, but i think the old BVM F-4 pipe's outer wall was composite .... ???
