Default Installed some brake ducts

The duct itself is about five inches in length and two inches wide . run a two inch duct directed to the rotors , you can weld a ninety degree steel bend to the rotor's dust cover ( 2 inch circle cut out of the dust cover) with a hose clamp around the duct . I'm going to skip all that **** for now and just use zip ties .

I know it wont be conclusive, but it would be cool to take a IR thermometer and check before and after temps of the rotors.

Looks like a nice piece. price? Dont see it on the hero circuit site.

Does anyone make them from an EF hatch? I was going to make my own with some experimentation with fiberglass and I bought some flexible 2" diameter tubing as I'm running 13" wheels and 9.8" rotors (3" is way too big).

Rez,

as far as a bolt on deal goes, I guess it can work and looks okay. Is there potential for improving that concept using the bumper light hole? Probably can improve flow by 100% or probably more! No I am not being facetious.

If you wanted to increase flow by 10 fold or so you would look for placement of the inlet toward the center of the front bumper where pressure is the higest.

I would love to pick up a set of these for my Integra but according to Dali's web site they aren't for sale. Or at least they don't know how much money to charge for them. I'd e-mail them and ask but according to the attitude on their site that may result in them never wanting to sell me anything or maybe even hunting me down an killing me.
