Fiberglass Boxster Muffler idea
 
Thinking about the light weight,corrosion resistant properties of fiberglass,would it be feasible for a fiberglass shop to build a muffler?

Internal pathways and baffles could be created and moved around a bit to tailor the back pressure and tone during the design phase.Existing pipes could be utilized and the gel coat could be infused with a dark Grey etc color to minimize the appearance of wear.

Just a thought.......

Wouldn't heat be a problem? Distortion, composition change, eventually melting.

Have not considered that.Good point.I don't know if that could be overcome.
