For an exhaust, I am looking at the best combination of things at a reasonable price, i.e., less than $30,000. There are, e.g., certain newer titanium alloys that are significantly lighter than the norm that are worth evaluating. I could suggest the very best of all using defense grade ceramics that will endure in excess of 1600 C but the cost will exceed $100,000.
Yes, out of AL MMC.
As you know, almost anything, even plastic, can be replaced by something lighter. The question is how much and how long is one willing to wait.

To clarify, within 5 weeks we will be able to make carbon fiber versions of the following parts for the R:
engine lid (should also fit GT3)
rear wing
left and right side skirts (should also fit GT3)
rear fascia (should also fit GT3)
front fascia
All parts will be made from full metal tooling and can be had either clear coated or ready for painting.
