    Brake Ducts

    Has anyone ever converted the fake brake ducts to to an actual duct setup?

    I have looked at the ducts on a Z06 and I feel like something similar could be set up. any thoughts?

    I have, too

    Something I could just cap off for street use with the factory inserts and remove for track days.

    Didn't think of that, that's a good idea.

    I want to use the front passenger intercooler hole to funnel air to the front breaks (I have front mount and a oil cooler in the drivers side). Then use the rear ones for the rear brakes. I have some ideas for the rears but it would be hard to explain without showing it.

    OP got me searching some and saw this. I was thinking of something sort of flat to use in the wheel well like this. I'm thinking this is what he was talking about also.

    ^ that is one of the setups I have seen for Z06's. I would like to make/see a vendor make something similar..

    I asked someone about tracking at road america and they said you need something constantly cooling brakes.

    Why not just do that with your dust shields? Would have the same effect.

    Yep weld rivet/weld a tube on to them but I'm talking about the flat plastic part coming from the fake intakes on the side skirts.

    Yes.
    I have looked, would require some holes to be cut out and some clever routing to get to the brake disc. I am interested in it though
