No market for brake ducting like this?

trahsub · 11-09-2015, 09:38 AM

I'm surprised, given the E9x's lack of fresh air cooling, that a product like this doesn't exist, save for a few small runs people have commissioned (saw a set in CF that did not look cheap).

With the limited space in the wheel well and as E9x's get a little cheaper and people start to track them more, hopefully a company will try to make a prduct like this that is space efficient and in plastic, not insanely expensive...

Pics is from an STI

Nice, how much do these run for the STI?

trahsub · 11-09-2015, 10:16 AM

$95 bucks!!! Really wish a company would roll these out...seems lien they would absolutely have a strong market. Hell, guys need to replace their $100 hoses they crush often...I mean :/

C-M2 · 11-09-2015, 10:17 AM

Whats the name of the company? What is it constructed out of?

italyix · 11-09-2015, 10:58 AM

Looks like it's 3D printed? I'd buy a set for that price.

It may look that way, but the company making these has been doing it long before 3D printers were available to the general public. I'm trying to get more details from a friend who is a Subaru guy. There are pics on this website of CF ducts similar to this design for someone's E92 race car, but I think they are custom and I'm sure they are crazy expensive.

The price is definitely right. I'm surprised I haven't seen something like this on more platforms.

I want an e46 set

surlynkid · 11-09-2015, 01:01 PM

I would buy a set and just attach hose at each end. I run Turner steering rack stops to keep from hitting the hose.

I wonder if I can get a friend to 3d print something like this....but doesn't it get hot as hell it might melt? lol

trahsub · 11-09-2015, 03:18 PM

I was thinking same thing about trying to print a few. Heatwise, I think distance from rotor/hub is far enough where it's not an issue. The guy selling these as a business has been doing so for years, so must not be a problem if he keeps gaining customers.

And keep in mind the tubing itself is being force fed cooler air constantly.

let's do this. I'll be the lab rat.

Antonio1988 · 11-09-2015, 07:02 PM

I used a generic version of the same and retrofitted it onto my old C6 Z06... worked like a charm

roastbeef · 11-09-2015, 10:06 PM

i'd like to see a product that feeds air into the center of the disk to force it through the cooling vanes.

Hmm. Looks interesting

Any pics you can add would be great. Do you need a front splitter with this?

I also noticed the rear real coilover in the catalog!

surlynkid · 11-10-2015, 12:20 PM

No splitter necessary. Just the brake duct openings like Apex sells.

roastbeef · 11-10-2015, 09:03 PM

when you get a chance, pics would be awesome. do you happento know what the diameter of the cooler is (the part that goes inside of the rotor)? the m3 gt4 has different brakes...
