Default Where to buy brake ducting?

Can't race at CMP w/o ducting. What size should I use for the GSR? Thanks in advance.

I have ordered all of my hose from http://www.racerpartswholesale.com and I have been happy with their selection. I currently run 3" from the bumper ducts but I have adapted it down to 2.5" where it enters the wheel since I had significant rubbing with the 3" hose. The cheaper stuff comes in lengths of 10' and the more expensive stuff comes in lengths of 11'. I found 10' to be more than enough.

A good temp idea is 3" dryer ducting at less than $10 for a 6 or 8' length. It won't last long, but it's cheap enough to replace every day if you need to. The downside is that it's much harder to get really close to the center of the rotor and most people just end up pointing it at their caliper from the radius rod. It also tears very easily.

A cheaper alternative is to buy some shop-vac hose from Home Depot and use the cheap nossle attachments for ducts.

I like the 3" expensive silicon stuff. It's tough and big. Got mine from Pegasus.
