Rear brake cooling - version 2

Here are some pictures of version 2 of my rear brake cooling testing. I need a good scoop at the inlet, but I am pretty happy with the outlet at the moment. Connected the vacuum outlet to the pipe to see air distribution and it seems to be going primarily through the rotor vents, which of course is what I want.

Comments?

Looks good, you could replace your rear windows with NACA ducts and then you could run the pipe over and up. Plan you make plates for it?

That thought might have crossed my mind. I'm not quite ready to go that extreme at the moment, but I may get there one day.

Yes, I am going to get backing plates made over the winter, and improved bracketry. Need to get a laser temp gun to see if it's actually effective, and assuming yes, just how much. I would like to get a good setup worked out this winter and offer something for sale

That would be pretty serious I guess, you could probably also mount it under the body since I am sure a ton of air rushes through there, you just can't be as sure how much I would think.
