The carbon-fiber itself could handle the heat... its the epoxy that will give way around 250 degrees.

I know they make cf tubing but just like exploited said. It's just the epoxy that would give out. I thought of this awhile ago.

You could do it. It would just be reallly really expensive.

You can have a carbon all the way up to the header.

It's the material cost can proper tools to do it, and the skill.

Dont know an exhaust that stayed a constant 250 .....

There are materials to suite the temperature they cost more.

Would this save much weight versus a Ti setup? ... assuming this is even remotely possible
