Last Minute DIY Brake Ducting
#26
Im going to be putting mine on but the car does not have a rain shield so guess I gotta make something to rivit my hose flange to.
so im thinking about taking air from my diebond under tray. do you guys think this will be any less affective the a front mount duct?
I have these from another project and i want to use em, not buy something new.
I have 2 of these

If you want good air flow to the brake/hub you need differential pressure. So you need a spot that is at a higher pressure than the wheel well. An inlet under the car will be dicey depending on where you place it and may actually be at low pressure if you have a splitter. In the nose is much better since the area in front of the nose is 'typically' at a much higher pressure.

uh, somewhere between 2 and 3 feet. Probably closer to 3. 6 should easily be enough for two if you're fairly frugal. Don't quote me on any of that though. Always buy more than you think you need.

For reference, my TSE brake duct kit came with 11' of hose. I have the ducts installed but haven't installed the hose yet, however.
I'd order at least 8 feet. You have to be able to cover extremes of wheel turn and suspension movement. It's always easier to make the hose shorter than it is to make it longer.
