Default DIY Rear Brake Ducts using B-Strakes

This is a 2" rear brake duct using a modified OEM B-Strake and a 45° silicone elbow to support the duct beneath the rear, lower A-arm.

Here's what they look like:

Looks good!

Questions about the set up:
- What is the B-strake? Not sure what part that is and where did you buy it?
- How is the 45° silicone elbow supported?

I want to keep this in mind when I get more comfortable with the S on the track.

Nice work! What's being used to attach the hose to each end, with regard to the brake dust cover and the strake? Cant make those out from the pics.

This is going to get a lot more air (bigger scoop + larger hose) to the rear rotors and it doesn't hang any lower than the stock pieces which can be stored away unmolested.

Yes. I gave this due consideration prior to building mine. It looks functional and probably works just fine. Good job.
