Carbon fiber piping works well in terms of mitgating heat however the carbon pipe over time has a problem of sliding out of place at its connecting intersection with the intake plenum from vibrations because of the carbon-fiber smoothness. If it wasn't for that one flaw the use of carbon-fiber would be more prevalent in the making of the piping.
