Works well, I always used to have overheating issues but with the ducts, didn't.
I did this same basic setup on my 964.

Bob,

The brakes and ABS were flushed since then and pedal stayed firm running at TBOLT last week. Hopefully, will have another chance to test at Lightning this weekend.

Bill V, efficient, but it looks more costly than my whole car. LOL

I put the front ducts in with a hose just behind them, no ducting to rotors, I use Pagid Blacks, factory drilled rotors, and Motul 600 fluid, no problems with overheating even at Sebring with 90+ temps. I think you might meed to consider course you are on, Sebring, VIR, Daytona all have long areas for brake cool down.

Through the frame rail is probably best, but I could not figure how to do it with the stock bumper shocks in place, and I'm not willing to give them up...

Here is what I came up a few years ago... Has been working well. I run ATE fluid and Pagid blacks at CMP which is very hard on brakes, have had not overheating issues after installing them.

Very nice stuff here. Thanks all. I may have to really stress my limited fabrication skills.
