I installed mine yesterday as well. Great product, and great service. THANKS. The only difficult part was getting those damn dust shields off, the rest took 5 min to install. Thanks

annnnnnnnnnnnnd i guess i didnt install right, both ducts were rubbing the wheels pretty hard so i think i need to get some new ones and ziptie them somehow up to the body, away from the wheels.

Tie the hose with zip ties to the tie rod so it can move with the tire when turning.

Alittle fab work and some ingenuity can go a long ways!

Granted the ducting I sell isnt as expensive as some and isnt hi-temp but it works and has been on my car for almost a year now.

Finally got em on yesterday....everything but the actual ducts. Ran out of time. Everything fit well. The reducers fit perfect over the fog light holes. Thanks for finding those Anthony.

That would be cool. I have a home OU game the next session on Sept. 23rd, but am hoping to make the Oct. 28th session. It's also the same day as the Ford-Buick Shootout near Oklahoma City, so not sure what is going to happen yet. My friend with the 93 Cobra who bought a set from you said there may be an opportunity soon to get into Hallett for $75 during a week day with some club he knows about. Are you interested if so? As for the kit I only had one issue with it. The 96-98 bumper cover fog light holes don't go all the way around, so it's a bit difficult to get a snug fit with the reducers. Other than that it's perfect.

Beau,
I have a set of replacement ducts here ready to install, I'll get your address off paypal and ship them out to you, no charge!!

Be sure to remove the small splash shields to give the ducts more room to route back and more places to attach to.

wow thank you!!!! that's awesome of you to do. i'll remove the splash shields too.

btw i should be getting a tubular k member and coilovers pretty soon so perhaps i'll wait till then to put the ducts back on, and work on some good routing methods.

Once the splash shields are off, just follow the installation instructions and you shouldnt have any troubles. Where the ducts make the 90° turn to go out to the backing plates it's very important that the duct is ziptied to the tie rod. Doing this will allow the ducting to move back and forth as the wheel is turned and help keep it from contacting the wheel/tire.
