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...

Ah, okay, I have a better picture of what you're doing now. Stainless
wouldn't work well for that, IMO. But since you're prepared to do layup work
anyway, it would be easy to create the tube section yourself. A mandrel of
the proper diameter for the ID of your tube, wrapped with a layer of thin
polyethylene sheet, then lay up the tube with fiberglass tape until you're
happy with the thickness. You could even do this as an integral part of the
repair, skipping the "make it first, then attach it" stage.
