Would anyone be interested i a group buy for brake duct kits? They are manufactured by C & T Automotive Engineering.

Please PM me if you are serious. If I get at least 10 interested people by 11/29/04 I will start the group buy.

10 kits = 10% off
20 kits = 20% off


On 00 -03 models you can use either the bumper duct or the duct that goes where the spats in front of the wheels.
On 04-05 models you use the dc in the bumper ( Not sure if the spat replacement duct will fit)


Completely reversible if using the ducts where the stock air spats were located
Attach to existing screw / bolt locations
Transparent to users. No unsightly parts
Does not hang lower than the stock air deflectors
Reduces brake fade from the stock setup while spirited driving or racing
Very cost effective performance alternative to purchasing a 'big brake' kit
The brake kit system is so light that there are negligible weight gains (Within a few ounces of weight from the metal backshields)
There is no other aftermarket brake duct cooling system that is completely integrated for your car
High temperature composite backshield
Proven design has been used for two years
High pressure inlet air from taken from either duct location will get the maximum air flow into the eye of the rotor
New Generation 2 Units
spouts and backshields made as a single unit
larger spout opening to the eye of the rotor for greater air flow
much stronger than previous generation design

The brake duct kits come complete with:

air inlet ducts
2" diameter hoses (only 2" diameter hoses available. sorry, no other sizes available)
clamps & hardware
two high temperature back shields
Allen wrench (modified for this application)

$$?

This is the scoop that replaces the spat:

I would like to see how the kit is routed through the inner fender.

It looks pretty clean, but I occasionally rub the air defectors against the pavement. I would hate to spend the ~$ 400.00 and end up damaging it.

The scoops are almost an inch shorter than the spats.

 

I can say first hand that the brake ducts work!

The pictures on C&T website are of my car and our brakes at Buttonwillow were about 200 degrees colder than without the ducts.

The CF pieces fit right in to the foglight ducts and they are a perfect fit.


Anybody that tracks their car, this is a no brainer!


I'll try to get some pics that are more close up.

I am in. Fiberglass version ducts replacing spats for me. So this would be 315 for ten or 280 for twenty?

Not to derail the group buy, but I would like to inform everyone of the brake duct setup I have.

I would have to dig out my invoices as I don't remember where I sourced everything, but in a nutshell:

1) I bought 2 plastic air intake funnels. These can be trimmed to fit perfectly behind the stock fake airducts in the bumper. Take a dremel and cut them out.

2) The funnels end in a 3 inch exhaust hole. I felt that this was too large and bought plastic adapters to reduce that to 2.5" diameter.

3) I then have 2.5" piping that goes to the wheels.

4) On the brake disc dust protectors will be attached aluminum hubs. They will be riveted onto the brake dust protectors, and then the 2.5" hose will be clamped directly to them. I needed to source this part from an aircraft supply store, believe it or not.

Overall, the total bill came in well under $300US and is exactly what I was looking for. OEM looks and nothing to get shattered or banged should you bottom out.

While I have been extremely lazy and not installed this setup on my car yet, it will be going on this winter for sure.

The Reverend is essentially running the same setup as me, IIRC. Ask him how he is liking it.

Just another option to throw out there.
