The brake duct inlets are also slightly larger than the stock one, so a little extra air forced there also.




just some side by side photos and one of them installed.

Just finished installing the upgraded ducks.
Interesting that the stock ones have no airflow directed at all to the outer CV joint.
Does anyone know which CV joints were prone to failing?
Was it the outer?
Now it looks like they really have airflow going to it ?
they did it for a reason.
can’t hurt, easy upgrade

My left inner boot just failed (other 3 are fine)…

New ducts improve flow to inners and add flow to outers…
