MikeE Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 So how does carbon fibre cope with the extreme heat and gasses inside a a silencer (or is it just a stick on sheet over a normal stainless steel can 😳) R400 Duratec Build and Modification Pictures here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 It is not an over sleeve, the actual case is made from carbon Fibre, but it is special stuff. There are hundreds of types of Carbon Fibre. Carbon Components from K9 Composites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 CF silencer on mine too. They don't like cars that produce flames out the tail pipe, BUT you can mitigate the risk of hot spots and fire by lining the inside of the "can" with turbo blanket. Which is precisely what I have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
