Default FMIC and brake ducting

Does anyone have a front mount with brake cooling ducts? I'm hosting a tech day next weekend and I didn't even think about the fact that I'll have a front mount and I'm curious as to whether the piping will get in the way of the ducting. I have an AP1 bumper and the ducting will come from the faux vents.

Justin, sorry I haven't been in touch. What is this tech day you speak of? Is it this weekend or the 27-28 weeekend? I wanna get that detailing stuff done, but I need to get a car cover because these damn oaks are crapping all over my car. I'll try to make it to the tech day and you can have a look at my setup to see if there is room for ducts. I would think you could make it work.

Does it cover the faux vent areas? I wanted to keep my brakes cooler so I could brake boost.

On the tech day, we were going to do it this coming weekend, but it looks like most people can't make it. Joe (cyclon36, pres. of s2katlanta) is having his annual haloween party on the 28th, and I'm hosting a hood venting day on the 4th it looks like. This might have to wait a few more weeks. If you want in on the hood venting let me know

Oh, and I JUST sold my OEM car cover 2 weeks ago to a guy in California. I was raped in shipping - 22 dollars. I wanted to sell it locally but nobody wanted my parts.

Looking at it, you could make it work the flow would just have to go around the piping. to the right or left but not straight through

I can only speak from what I have seen with own setup and I would think that it wouldn't work since I had to remove my airpump just to fit the charge piping. Yours might be slightly different, but I can't see it working.

It will depend on how you have your charge piping routed.

I already have the Top Secret vented hood. Too bad about the car cover. My bad for avoiding the ATL site.

I have the Bulletproof prototype brake ducts and a PWR IC. Fits fine but hen I set it up with brake cooling in mind from day one.
