...or even simpler: Use the "stdout" file descriptor in exp:

$ exp userid=system/manager file=stdout ... | compress >exp.dmp.Z

Unfortunately "stdin" cannot be used with import, so you will need to use the named pipe, ie.:

$ mknod pipe p
$ zcat exp.dmp.Z > pipe &
$ imp userid=system/manager file=pipe ...
