Default air intake ducts ?

Does anyone make air intake ducts for the fog light holes on the n/a valance ? I know there are lots of versions out there for the 951 but what about the n/a ?

You could probably do it with some flex tubing I'm sure.

The recess that the fog lights fit into is a natural funnel. I just attached flex hosing to it with pop rivets. Bonus is I can put the fog lights back in when I'm not headed for the track.

The Paragon ducts are for the brakes and they general mount behind the bumper not in a foglight position..

due to the size you could probably trim them in place them in the foglight area or behind it

Unless you expect to travel at 150+ the ram effect won't help. Getting positive pressure on the intake of the airbox will help though.

Pretty sure they're talking about brake ducting?

Could be wrong though

That's correct !

yes i know but i wanted something more factory looking .The option to put the fog lights back in is a definite plus , i think i'm going with this idea for now.

PS: actually it works ,a friend of mine tested this idea on a 924 and actually had to give it more fuel because it was running too lean , he got top speeds of 220-230 km/h on gps,that's 944 and 924 turbo territory .
