wow, thats bad ass. I want something like that for mine. Awesome stuff there. Would they be hard enought to use as IC pipes? or would they be a bad idea for leaks?

I'd be willing to bet that CF would do just fine for IC piping. I probably wouldn't do it because I like my IC piping to be easily "modifyable". It would look pretty cool though and it's sure be lightweight.

AIR makes CF intake manifolds for Hondas, so I'm sure it is possible for IC piping. I wouldn't do it for the same reason as Paul said, also cause of costs and my not really liking exposed carbon (at least not as much as my ricer days :-p).

I just stumbled across this picture showing some CF IC piping and figured I'd share. This is a 60 psi application, so I wonder how thick the walls of the piping are.

Yeah, and a throttle body on the compressor inlet... Gurney Flap does some wicked stuff. I'd love to work with them for a year or two.

nice find on that motor... pretty cool how they did the piping. And your right.. i wonder just how thick those walls have to be to take 60psi. lol

In retrospect - I'm willing to bet it's just CF wrapped aluminum piping. Just like the compressor cover.
