Brake Ducts Installed on my 1LE (DIY)
I had been planning to install some brake ducts on my 1LE since I first got it in May, but after 3 track days on the stock calipers/rotors/pads and Motul 600 and not doing "much" late braking I was pleasantly surprised with the stock set-up.
I decided to add ducts before Grattan this past weekend on pretty much the morning I was scheduled to leave.......so my choice of parts was out of my last minute decision, not out of long term planning I would have preferred a more conical duct entrance so the air wouldn't be turbulent entering but I couldn't find one small enough for the area I wanted to use and these were very cost effective. Parts used:
General Overview:
I did test them in my personal wind tunnel = A leaf blower on the front of the car and I was able to confirm my race car scientific theory: there is a lot of air coming out the duct and dumping into the back of the hub area.... Pictures Speak 1000 works....See below FYI: I have enough extra material to supply 1/2 person with a DIY kit for a small fee. DO NOT ask me here please...PM me. -Matt

I will be using this kit since it should have a bit smoother airflow at the entry point
http://www.jegs.com/i/Kenny+Brown+Pe...1300S/10002/-1 Or get 2 of these separately but when I added up the hose and clamps it was about the same price. http://www.jegs.com/i/Allstar+Perfor...42140/10002/-1 Will be using the quantum kit for the hub brackets. |

This one that is 6" wide and 3.5" would fit better in there: https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pr...p?Product=3623 and I will be changing over to this one during the winter utilizing the same location FYI: You can piece together a kit from Pegasus for much cheaper than the kit from Jegs https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/ad...ryID=BRAKEDUCT I did not get mine stuff from here, but I have used them in the past.. -Matt

I found it a good bit cheaper, just the quickest link to find. I will cut as much of the side area away to still be able to rivet it together, 4.5" should be enough to work. I'll see if I can get the ducts that come with the kit to fit otherwise I did waste some money. Heck I'll use the extra ducts and hose to put some on the wifes corolla so she thinks I'm even crazier.

Very cool, I was not aware of Quantum......Looks like I will be making two changes over the winter, different Inlets and the Quantum kit! Thanks, Matt

Great post and photos, I have a much better idea of how this all works now. I've put together the following parts which I have yet to order. I am not sure which inlet duct will fit best so I have two sizes listed. This list comes to about $125 for parts:
3630-3.00-6 FOOT Neoprene 2-ply Air Duct Hose, Black, 3.0" x 6 Foot https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pr...p?Product=3630 $38.49ea x1 3623-Color Air Inlet, Extra-Small Rectangle, 6 x 3.5 inch https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pr...p?Product=3623 $18.99ea x2 3613-3.25 SS Worm Drive Hose Clamps, 2.25-2.75, 3.25” ID https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pr...p?Product=3613 $3.20ea x4 ALL42116 Allstar Performance LH Aluminum Single Spindle Duct http://pitstopusa.com/i-5066463-alls...ghtweight.html $24.94ea x1 ALL42117 Allstar Performance RH Aluminum Single Spindle Duct http://pitstopusa.com/i-5066464-alls...ghtweight.html $24.94ea. x1 7022 ButlerBuiltŪ Headlight Mount Duct, 7.75" x 5.5" http://pitstopusa.com/i-5063720-butl...-75-x-5-5.html $11.83ea x2 Alternate, the spindle unit will be a much simpler install but does the 45 degree angle perform better than the 90 degree angle to the rotor surface? The spindle units look like you can drill holes where needed to align with existing spindle screw locations.: R46-003 Richardson Aluminum Single 45° Air Duct http://pitstopusa.com/i-5085152-rich...-air-duct.html $27.87ea. x2

Should this go in the main DIY section of the forum? I would think this mod could work on just about any 5th gen Camaro
