Re: Is anyone interested in seeing my Brake Ducts ?
I've had the set-up on for 2 months now & all is fine. I drive 100 miles per day, every day ... rain or shine. I have also done a track day in the rain. No issues or problems.

Have you noticed any gain at the track yet? Any measurable difference in brake feel etc?

Re: Is anyone interested in seeing my Brake Ducts ?
I did my brake system improvements in the following order and feel like it was a good way to move up the ladder.
1) ATE Blue fluid
2) Brake ducting
3) C5 brakes and Hawk HP+ pads
The fluid helped more than the brake ducting I think, but still not enough if you run your car even remotely hard for a 20 minute session or longer. You will need at the least better pads if you keep your stock calipers and rotors. I don't want to change to race pads and rotors at the track quite yet, so I went with larger brakes to help. When I get a trailer to tow my car to the track I'll put on some better pads.
