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...

My buddy has a mk4 with 600whp and he made his ic piping out of cf and it keeps cooler than aluminum.For example the runners on a new neon is all carbon fiber, and thats stock!!!That tells you something.And if you make it right it is as strong as steel but with the little flex, thats awsome.Trust me it is the way to go.And I know it works!!
