I have had this piped ship for a number of years and its been sitting. I have serviced engine several times and it is a low time engine. Pipe is Eather and was updated version at that time. Plane was bought used but very good shape. My question is will carbon pipe degrade with time? It looks fine and plane has only flown less than ten flights bu me. Engine was new when installed. Its ready to go and everything looks fine. All my planes are keep in house. No shed or garage.

The pipe will be fine. If it has aluminum baffles, there is a slight chance that they could corrode and come loose, but I wouldn't worry about it.
