I've ordered a set of ducts from Kevin at FE and they are 3" OD. I'm looking to bypass the Stillen kit entirely and essentially do the same thing as you are. Also, how long were the hoses that you ordered? Could you get by with a single 10 ft piece (5' for each side) or is that too short?

Thanks,
Mick
I'm going to rivet the flange to the shield. The shield is steel and the flange is aluminum. The hose I got is 10ft long. I'm hoping that's enough to do both sides. That hose is $$

Thanks for the feedback Rusty. I noted the same thing about the hose pricing. I found a 10 ft section of Allstar Performance hose (3" diameter, 550 degree limit) for $117 on Jegs.com I also found a 12 ft section of "high temperature silicine air duct hose" (3" diameter, 450 degree continuous, 500 degree max) for $117 on pegasusautoracing.com. I'm not sure that the 50 degree difference is meaningful, especially after the ducts are in place and the added cooling is realized.

I am curious as to whether you find that the single 10' piece of hose is long enough for both sides.

Best,
Mick
