| The Viper shoots cool air from the front bumper through these ducts towards the back-side of the wheels to help cool the brakes. Sorry about the picture being out of focus! |
 |
| The Corvette has a similar duct to the Viper. I got this picture from Rob Robinette’s website; it’s a great resource for S2k and FD RX-7 owners. |
With the concept in my head, it was time to design some ducts. I enlisted the help of my buddy Tommy to do some C.A.D. to make a mock-up. The S2000 control arm has a hole conveniently cast into it that we could use as a mounting point.
 |
| This is halfway through mock-up concept number two. When designing parts, there are often many design iterations. |
 |
|
| Some more cardboard added onto the mock-up. |

Does Tommy still have the info for these ducts? I’d love to have a set for my car to help keep my rotors from cracking!
I didn’t want to cut everything needed for the Baero ducts
Here’s the DIY version.

Or I can email you.
I actually have made and remade the DIY ones about 4 times now. I added a chicken wire like mesh to the lower portion to help keep it in shape as well which helped. I also tried modifying the Porsche ducts which didn’t seem as effective
If you could email me about these composite ones I would appreciate it.
Hi Khiem, I appreciate the R&D you’ve put into the 3D printed brake ducts. Do you still have the STL files for those, and would you be willing to share it?
Check your email.
Hey Khiem, would you be willing to share those files again? I would love to give these a shot and maybe develop them a little further.
