Carbon fibre leadpipes

A friend was telling him about his new-to-him .508 Edwards. It came with a couple of Butler carbon fibre lead pipes. Unfortunately, they were threaded and I was unable to try them out. I was unaware that you could buy carbon fibre leadpipes.

I am probably in the market for a replacement leadpipe for my Bach 16M and I am curious about the Butler pipes.

Does anyone have experience with these? How would a carbon fibre leadpipe perform?

I had one for bass for a bit. It had a great response, sound seemed fine. However, I screwed it in a tiny bit too far and the threads separated from the leadpipe- now it's not even a paperweight, no way to use it safely without the leadpipe getting stuck in the horn.
