Again, what?
And finally, what?
These are some of the worst ideas for a track car I've ever heard. That hi-temp silicone hose is used for a reason, it flows a decent amount of air and it withstands high temperatures near the brakes. And your backing plate that attaches to the spindle needs to be a sturdy, well designed metal or composite piece, not some hacked up snorkus.

To the first "what". I was being sarcastic. sorry for the mixup.
To the second "what"
He said that the hose dragged on the ground when the suspension was compressed. So I was merely trying to think of something that was flat and would still move air to the brakes.
Third "what"
The air intake thing is too big. I can see that. I was mainly considering the shape of it. To me it looks like a good shape that would suck up to the brake duct in the factory bumper. I didnt know that it needed to be so hi-temp. I dont have a track car so I dont know how hot it gets nor to I claim to. I just knew that my car has thin plastic fender liners next to the brakes and those do fine. Sorry if I threw out some of the worst ideas ever.
Scott, what weight are you looking for, whats the weight of that kit dean has?
