Hi,

I'd like to construct an exhaust box from carbon fibre, around 40cm x 30cm x 20cm. The exhaust gases are around 600'C. What is the temperature capabilities of carbon fibre sheet & edging, and is there a high temperature means of bonding to construct a box from these materials?

Cheers, Mark.

Matt,
Would exhaust tips out of carbon be feasible? Instead of factory chrome (er, stainless) it should handle that temp, right?

Hi Mike,

Exhaust tips are perfectly feasable, they're well within the temperature of our high temp epoxy.

All the best, Matt
