Squeaky Loud Noisy Brakes Fixed

I finally got the brakes to stop making noise when using the brakes going around 5 mph. A ducted cooling system. I know its overkill but the noise was driving me crazy. I drive a 2010 SS and have used this great forum to read everything available to fix the problem but none of it worked.

Here's a list of the parts I put in:
1. High temp brake duct (rotor side) https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaf-all42150
2. Brake ducts https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaf-all42116 , https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaf-all42117
3. Brake duct intakes https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaf-all42140
4. Four (4) metal hose clamps https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt...6595/202309381
5. Four (4) 14" zip ties https://www.homedepot.com/p/Commerci...0STB/203531913
6. Two (2) mending plates to bridge gap between generic brake ducts and caliper connections... ghetto, I know. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt...3509/203103415
7. small machine screws to fasten intake ducts to existing plastic

Tools used:
1. wrenches to get the wheel and caliper off
2. power drill to ream out holes in mending plates, and drill four (4) new holes in brake ducts (rotor side)
3. utility knife
4. pliers
5. snipper pliers
6. screwdriver
7. vise on workbench to bend metal, and secure metal while drilling new holes

I was able to jack up the car, crawl under and cut the existing plastic baffles that lie behind the sides of the lower grill. I used a utility knife, and yes this was the longest and most painful part of the install. I was able to not have to remove the front bumper/body work. From the inside I cut the sides of the baffle...

and left some plastic around the perimeter to screw the new intake ducts into it.

Thoughts?
