ok, i already thinking about this for long time... I bought SSteel pipes and elbows for my IC piping, but this weekend after puting everything together i saw that the pipes are way heavy... I was thinking about polishing them, but now i got a new idea...
What if i made all the IC piping from CF or Kevlar? I have buntch of those materials. I thought that piping would be lite, and strong. Is there any disatvantage of CF over the Steel? Any sugestions would be cool... -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

well, about the air flow, it would be basicly the same thing, cuz inside it will be all smoth, about heat soak.... hmmm... not sure, but anyway, i will make the piping with SSteel, and on these pipes i will take the CF piping mold, so basicly i will have 2 pipings, gonna try witch ones work better.
About the look, my engine bay will be all blacked out, lots of CF, Kevlar and etc parts, i dont want that shiny look anymore, gonna go more performance wise. Mike  Are ya leaning to some RICE SIDE? Colored waves? Transparent pipes? it will be like kindergarden under the hood........
