carbon isn't just there for the looks, it's got very good heat resistance properties...

it doesnt cost that much to make waz, there is a place near me that deals with real carbon fibre and the guy there say he'd make a tube like that for about £70

I never said it was worth the money, I wouldn't spend that much on something when I could potentially make it myself  :wink:

Get a Simota carbon fibre trumpet, it says Simota on it too. It sounds very nice, does the job and fits perfectly. Bargain at <£240  lol
