If I could do it over I would/or have done the following....
- The ducting can definately take the heat, but it is falling apart due to contact with the wheel and rubbing at the fender liner passthru. When I replace the ducting this fall I will be putting a grommet around the finderliner passthru to prevent chaffing(vacumn hose with a slit longways siliconed on the fenderliner should work)
- I riveted on the spindle ducts instead of using the tiny nuts and bolts the kit came with. Just one less thing to worry about imo.
- use tape on wheel weight with metal tape over them reflect heat and provide a smoother surface for the duct to make contact with. Hammer on wheel weights will chew up the ducts good.
- I would purchase the inlets and spindle brackets again and get the 2" brake ducting elsewhere.

Why get the ducting elsewhere? Simply cost?

I've had the kit on my car for a bit over a year now and I am fairly happy with it.
