I was thinking of running custom brake ducting to my rotors, cut out a hole in the back of the rotor and run some ducting to that hole from another duct under my cat. Would this be worth it? Or is it a waste?

All depends how hard you use your brakes and do they get very hot>

What about autox?

run a collector from the front of your car to a tube that directs it the brake rotors

I remember a thread about this somewhere and they kept talking about it has to be engineered right so the rotors dont cool unevenly and crack.



They could have been full of it though.

skunks on the other other forum made his own brake ducts from carbon fiber. it has like a 2 inch opening compared to the crooked willow racing ducts and the N-tech ducts which have much larger openings. i am prettty shure skunks is here on this forum also. i think he wanted like less than $200 for his ducts.

Maybe I don't understand what you mean but, if you cut a hole in your rotor you will have to have it rebalanced.



Also if you plumbed your duct work under your cats or anywhere near your exhaust you will be drawing in warm/hot air.



I have thought about making custom duct work for my front brakes but then some things dawned on me...



What if I am sucking up water into the duct work? Maybe not so bad, but oil and petrol would be ingested as well.



Also what if I take in small partiulate matter that is abrasive? Some of it is bound to end up in the wrong place.



Maybe these are valid maybe they are not. What do you all think?
