carbon fiber plenums

CamasM3e93 · 05-14-2022, 08:04 AM

Does anyone know the thickness of the carbon fiber used in the plenums built by multiple vendors? I don't see the technical detail posted on the manufacturer sites.

I've got a spare plenum and I am going to do something like this post below, but use a sheet of carbon fiber instead of plexiglass. I bought a sheet of 1mm CF but boy the stuff is stout and I'm not sure it isn't too thick for the intended purpose - which is more induction sound without plunging 2-2.5k down for a full mod.

CarboProject export plenum uses a single sheet of CF fabric for the plenum only.

I think eventuri went through several different thickness of material before they found the ideal setup so im pretty sure theyre not just going to tell you what material to use so you can make your own.

Yes, I agree. Thus posting the question on a user forum and not directly to Eventuri.
