Good pics thanks. Did you have to cut any fender liner anywhere? Will be running the hose in a week or two after I get all my coolers plumbed. I don't want the hose getting in the way while I try to access all the random places I need to over the next week.
Also interested in any track days or group info for Watkins Glen you have. I want to try it out this coming spring or summer. |

I did a novice and intermediate school at Watkins Glen with Trackmasters. Trackmasters.com The schedule for 2014 is not up yet. The Genesee Valley BMW Club and the Niagara Region Porsche Club are also good groups to do track days with. I know instructors with both those groups and they are not brand specific. A Camaro is welcome to run with them. Keep an eye on the Watkins Glen website for next years schedule. They will list all the different organizations that have track time for 2014 when they post there new schedule. Some of the schools fill up fast. The advice I received was to reserve spots early.

Modifying the Apex air scoop
Received my Quantum brake duct kit from JDP (no instructions btw).
Kit looks fine, but now I'm thinking about how to make it work with my Apex air scoop. The spot where the scoop sits already takes up 100% of the real estate that the brake duct would need. Plus, there is no more room anywhere else. So, my idea is to modify the air scoop as follows: The air will get channeled into the duct via the scoop. Should be an easy mod to do. What do you guys think? Come to think of it, might not even need the duct connection pipe. Just have the 3" flexible duct extend a bit into the scoop and secure it so that it doesn't fall out.

Thanks Tyler, I just sent you a PM.
I'm not too keen on popping out my DRLs and besides, they are mandatory in Canada. I'm going to go ahead with the scoop mod and then will do some tests to see how the air flows left-to-right. Unless there is an obvious other location when I have things taken apart, but I'm not counting on it.

I've been kicking around the idea of these and I thought about something similar to what you have. There is also the possibility of fabing something similar to the Rotofab big gulp for the ZL1 it is a similar concept to what you are thinking.
The other thing that I have been thinking of is to run a T3 port from ACS and putting both brake duct hoses in the desired spot behind the center grille and using the DS T4 port to feed your intake... Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk

Damn I didn't realize the ZL-1 ducts were useless. I just installed them when I installed the front bumper. Oh well.

The fog lamp or daytime running lamp is a hotter and more turbulent area to pick up air. It is not advisable to use that are to feed the ducts. The best air is the spot used above on the outsides of the lower grille a la ZL1 area. Matt

3, 2.5 or 2" hose?
I need a good project to throw myself into.
What's the final verdict on 3" hose vs 2.5" or 2"? Is there a routing for sure for the 3" hose so that it won't get crushed by the suspension?

alternate idea
My problem is that one of the two front spots I would use for an intake is used up by a CAI scoop. So I am trying to figure out alternate options.
Anyone ever thought of trying something like the first pic below - strapping the scoop to the lower control arm? The pic is off a Mini but you get the idea. I get that any good size road obstruction would tear it off. But, my headers are already way lower to the ground than these would be and they rarely hit anything. I am also including a second pic that has a completely different approach to brake ducting - just a piece of aluminum that straps to the LCA to direct air into the wheel and towards the hub. Looks pretty easy to fab up. Any thoughts? Thanks for any input guys. Y'all are great at bouncing ideas off of. Pete
