Twin 2" brake ducts setup.
I know that having two 2" ducts looks fancy, but the opening between the caliper and the upright is only so big. And it's about the size of the single 2" duct. It's possible that a lot of the air is being directed into wasted space. But it's hard to quantify anything without actually testing it.
Here is a shot looking into the gap between the upright and caliper. Did you get a picture like this of the twin setup?

I've been running the Binary kit for a while now but dont have the track experience to give proper feedback (yet).
Dont mind the truck air-horn....
And you can see the aluminum inlet tube mounted to the front bumper mesh in this pic.
has anyone found a way to route the inlet hose on the passenger side without having to cut at the ducting for the oil cooler? i REALLY don't like the idea of doing anything to decrease the amount of air going to the cooler. however, i don't see any other place to get cool air from. i kinda thought about pulling it from under the bumper cover.. but then there is a risk of ripping them off while parking, if i'm not careful. if i do it, it will be with a straight version of something like this:
i still prefer to use the current openings in the bumper cover.

I will get a shot as soon as I have a reason to get under there, most likely before a track day. At this point, I’m looking into a BBK kit or a caliper that will better handle/dissipate heat.
Now is the time for me to pull the trigger as I just got a new set of Brembos under warranty .... I almost forgot what bright read brembos looked like!
if i'm not mistaken rotora has a 4 piston rotor/caliper kit that WILL fit with 17" wheels. I'll look for a link and post it when i find it

I'm really leaning towards a BBK as well but I didn't want to shift to 18" wheels as I really enjoy running 245/17s on the BBS wheels.
