I've never used prepreg on any of the CF parts I've made. And I've covered quite a few parts with CF. There are many ways to make the mold for the dry sleves, then lay up your own resin on top of the layers. And yes, you would definitely want to make it multiple layered (I was thinking at least 3)... I think this would be the way to go for curved parts. I mean, if you cant make bends in the pipe, whats the point? LOL

They list the 3.0 nominal diameter sleeves as 19.9oz material. And even though they don't list a thickness, its probably close to .030 per layer. This is what uscomposites.com lists for the thickness of 19.7oz. So 5 layers of that would be .15 thick plus however much resin you use..
