Ok guys. Since so many ppl want them, I'm going to make better fitting parts, and make one for each side. I'm shooting to have a run of them by next week. I will start a gp thread as soon as I get going. Thanks for your patience and interest! Edited by Convette

Rock on...thanks for doing this! Looking forward to the final rendition.

Heres a pic of the ducts at the disks, I used the stock shroud, rotated it, re-drilled one hole, trimmed it, and welded a 2.5 piece of exhaust tubing to it. In ideal situations, you want the ducting placed near the center, or the vents of the rotor so that air is forced through them. I'm not sure if this will work for everyones application though. I may off the service later down the road.

Since real high heat brake duct tubing is rather expensive, I went to wal-mart, picked up crapper tubing for an rv. (3mill x 10') Its the correct size and was like $7 for 10ft...lol I dont reccomend it, as it may melt in extream use or if its not properly installed. However, it held up flawlessly at the track. It only melted where it touched the tire on hard sharp turning. But it doesn get very soft and lose shape when it gets hot.

yeah they were absolutly amazing. I did buy a set of HAWK Black pads and I must say wow... worlds different. The track wasnt' a very "hard braking" track for say, but down the straight I was somewhere around 140, down to 60ish maybe? and they worked really well even running 20 min sessions. I never once had brake fade. The stock brakes were done 2 laps in last time I was at Willow.
