Carbon.

It's Lighter, just as strong, replacement tubes are cheap, and you won't burn yourself on it. Plus it adds a high Poser Value to your ride as well.... :poke

thanks for the input so far guys,

btw, does the carbon sleeve on a muffler "wear out" or discolor over time. never thought of that happening for some reason.

The glossy finish does over time and heat/sun, I've noticed a little discoloration in my D&D in the almost 2 yrs I had it.
