RE: Homemade Airduct Brake Kit
This really is a polite group.
Let me be the first to say it looks like cr@p. But you dont seem overly concerned that people might mistake your Mustang GT for a mobile laundromat so I also must applaud your redneck engineering and creativity.
Good luck with that!

dude iun think thats dong much of anything...the air has to turn twice...if you drilled into your fascia and put the tubes shooting straight onto your rotors/pads that would be a different story

First question....why did you bother to do this?
Second here is my evaluation:
Concept: A+ for track / steet car, C for street car
Engineering: C- for both street and track
Overall not a terrible effort with some more thought "could' probably mount better/nicer, be more "eye" pleasing with some efforts on the front end work.
Of course on a street car I have to ask myself why?

Those are from QuantumMotorsport.com and as you can see are 05+ Mustang specific. The other ones are from ColemanRacing.com and are a trim to fit, but cheaper.
Hey guys i'm usually pretty animated and straightforward about everything. I have to say at least this guy went out and tried to do it himself rather than drop $425 on the Agent 47 kit, which looks pretty but is imperfect. While we have now discovered the flaws in his, at least he is headed in the right direction rather than just bolting something on because somebody else has one or some vendor favoring magazine says to. I'd much rather be the wolf than the sheep any day.

day 3, they still work well, im gonna paint em. the passenger side held up damn well, but the driver side, well it had to be re-done. i did the passenger side in the rain and dark, so that's why that doesnt work. also, the rotor plates have holes at the center so the air does get in. now, if u want to compare mine to a pro kit i have this to say. my tubes wont move when air comes in, they are sturdier, therefore i believe that wind moves through them quicker since they are more stable. also, the pro kit is also only 3 inches. at 3 inches you can move 5000 f/m. when u are doing 60 mph, u are going 5280 f/m. the airflow is maxed out going through them at under 60 mph for a 3 inch tube, so even with the front attachments they wont perform better because i usually hit my brakes over 100mph meaning they are well over their capacity. mine also mount in the center where air flow is max. they may not look great to all of you, buti must say, they work well, they are sturdy as ****, and my brake fade is much much less.
