Brake cooling that is not Stillen?

If making your own. Use the red high temp hose. It doesn't crush as easy. You can buy the flanges for the backing plates online, and mod the stock plates. For the inlet ducts. Lots of different styles online.

The Stillen kit uses a 2" red hose. Which is fine unless you are a heavy braker at a advanced level. Then you have to go to a 3" or 4" hose. Then the problem starts. Trying to route the hose around.

Yup, the 2" was just barely able to squeeze in for routing, but I see 3" being needed pretty easily. And there's no way that would fit through the existing path for the 2"/

I am gonna look at doing a 3" hose and after I got the hose was like oh chit that's probably not going to work but we will see. So far I have not had any reason to go bigger than the 2" with the bake fluid, brake pads, titanium backing plates, and rotors I'm using. My brake and rotor temps have not been much more than 400*.
