3D Printing Velocity Stack Mould?

Hi all, 

I'm just venturing into the more complex shapes of CF components and have set myself the task of making some CF Velocity Stacks/Trumpets for my kit car?


A friend has kindly created a 3D printer file for me to print as a inner mould but I wondered if there was a better way to do this.



Mainly, could this be done with a single mould and secondly as I would be wet laying, how would I vacuum bag this?

Many thanks in advance, next stage would be to add a CF flange to the bottom...

I wonder if you could do a split mold and use pre-preg like this example:
