Brake Ducting - Any performance testing?

[db12]

I've been reading over the threads of people who have added brake ducts to their S4's. Wondering if anyone has done so and if so did you notice any improvement? Really not needed unless you track your car which I do so was looking at that as a next step after adding the BBK.

It looks like a pretty cheap improvement, so I am also considering it.

There is more than enough carnage in the track drivers thread to justify it:



No one has posted any reviews after installing them from what I can see but it certainly help.

I did that a month ago to my brakes...gotta check thickness more regularly at the track...lol

Maybe if we can get enough interest we can have ECS or someone else put together a kit for us.

Assume it is priced well you can count me in on a kit.

I think ECS has the Macan air deflectors and clamps. The NACA ducts have to be bought elsewhere as well as the hose.. Maybe they can source all of it... I'm surprised no one has put out a complete kit yet...

Looking forward for the brake ducts kit to come out.

Now that is awesome. Had a set of EBC pads do that to me, not in the S4. Proper track pads helps a lot with that but increased air flow does a lot as well. Especially in heavier cars.

Especially in heavier cars.

This is the problem. These cars weight two freaking tons.

FWIW, the B7 RS4 had a nice OEM brake duct set up with inlets in the fog grills.
