Sorry for the double post. Damn cellphones. But carbon fiber is twice as stiff and zylon. E graphtized carbon = 77e6 psi and E zylon = 28-35e6 psi. The lower temp fiber are generally around 50e6 psi.
Well BMI is definitely an auto clave material. It should be fine out of the box, it just takes a higher bake. The equipment for handling PEEK is special I guess because of the high melting temp. PEEK is a thermoplastic rather than a thermoset like resin meaning it has to be applied to the...

So I'm not sure if zylon is necessary for what you want. I can't think your exhuast pressures are going to get that crazy. The resin question is a better one. bismaleimide is the resin of choice for high temp situations. It can be used with carbon fiber or fiber glass. Zylon is super crazy...
