et... Don't know why you're set on fiberglass, but here is a possible source: http://www.mmxhaust.com/FRP_products.html 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. -- KLC Lewis www.KLCLewisStudios.com www.cafepress.com/tmen www.zazzle.com/klclewis www.skreened.com/tmen 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.

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." |
