Carbon Fiber Tuned Pipes
Would anyone be interested in a full length carbon fiber tuned pipe? I am thinking about making them for .21 sized engines and smaller. They are a great way to save alittle weight and they look killer too. The 9 inch long pipe I make for a small 1/2a engine only weighs a third of an ounce. What are the popular pipes guys are running now?

There probably would be a market for a lightweight carbon fiber pipe as there have been and still is one company that makes them for boats. The trick is to use the right epoxy, one that won't get soft under heat.
Now that noise has become an issue for boats, it will need to be muffled also.
