Yeah, I was wondering about that wisdom of using carbon fiber for a
muffler.  Once the packing disappears, then the exhaust starts on the
carbon fiber.  I guess I need to figure out a way to fit the Hush
Power muffler under the cowl.

Mark,
No one I know of. The other thing is if that is truly a carbon fiber body I
think the rotary exhaust temperature would cook it. They probably only
expect them to see 1-2 minutes of operation max. I love carbon, but even
mild steel has melted in the 1700° rotary exhaust stream. (Looks wicked
though!)
