Need help with mapping

[DJM Productions]

Hey guys, i'm still very new here so go easy on me:o

I've built a model of a small 2 stroke exhaust pipe.
I need to get the carbon fiber texture on it like the refrence. I can't figure out a good way to map the texture onto it without it being horribley distorted. I couldnt get a good effect with UVW maps
I'm using 3ds 7
Can anyone help me out?

The texture dosent look like it covers the two "knob" parts on the left. Leave those out and use a Poly Select with a capped cylinderical map should get the job done on your main chunk.
