Don't know why you're set on fiberglass, but here is a possible source:

Although for a short length it would almost seem easier to lay it up on
your own, or go to a different material, such as stainless. Fiberglass
means wet exhaust only, relatively low temperatures, but stainless would
be stronger than necessary, which is a good thing, and probably much
easier to find.

Hi, Karen,

I have a couple of possibilites for FRP pipe; the reason for using
fiberglass is that the muffler is made of that, and I presume it would be
happier with FRP instead of any other pipe. OTOH, if finding FRP is a real
pain, I guess I'd consider SS - but have no experience in epoxy/glassing to
it, so I'm a bit nervous about it.

It's to repair a muffler which intake inexplicably has virtually
disappeared; I'd abrade and clean the muffler, and the pipe, and lay it up
with light cloth and epoxy after making the right sized hole cleanup in the
muffler can. I think it's a Vetus, but it's round, about a foot high and
wide, with the intake out the side and the exhaust out the top, black
fiberglass...

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.
Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
