Front Air Duct

[NTY]

What are the two side air ducts at the front with black flexible hose for? Where do they lead to? I'm planning to divert one of them to the front brakes like what Paul has done to his.

They go to the heater box to supply the air for the ventilation/heater/air. You can dispense with one of them for brake cooling and it makes no difference (that I noticed) to the heater/ventilation/air con.

Thanks Paul.

You mean all four ducts channel air to the cooler box? Did you notice any improvement to brake fading after air is channelled to the brakes?

=YES. More than enough air. Also the outer ones have a blanking plate in the collector which means much less pressurised air. There's no effect from loosing two of them.
