I am running the Agent 47 kit, but be aware of possible issues. I am lucky enough to live in San Diego and when they didnt fit on my 03 cobra I went to the Agent 47 shop and they re-fitted for me. Bear in mind this was 4 years ago, and at the time, they said they had tested on fox body but not all mustangs. Weird since they did a lot of 03/04 cobra specific parts back in the day. I am hopeful they took the change in as part of thier design, but might want to call and confirm.
Other than that, they have been great. Nicely tigged alum pieces that have performed very well. Good clearance for ABS sensor, etc.
I have a pair of 3 year old midcontinent mustang ducts (no hose, just the part that bolts to the caliper) that I no longer use. Send me a pm with an offer if interested.
Does the KB block air to the rotor face itself and supply air to the center only?
+1
The hose should be able to flex enough to fit over and clamp down no?
some heavy duty hoses dont flex that much. Ultimately we would need dimensions of that oval shape to see if typical hoses would stretch over it. If it doesn't fit some sort of adapter or coupling would work out great. shouldn't be too hard i would think..
My old backing plates had oval inlets..it actually directs more of the air into the center hat of the rotor. It was a bit more difficult to attach the hose, but once on the hose clamp always held it firm.
+1 for Greg's setup that is the same one I use. Provides plenty of air to the center of the rotor.
Where are those plates from?
Ended up picking up these plates used here for cheap. I do believe there the set made by Anthony (99cobra2881). I am waiting to see how his new revised set comes out or just pick up the more expensive Kenny Brown ducts which direct air to the inside of the rotor.
My question is, would it be better if I tack weld a piece of metal to cover part of the hole allowing air to blow more towards the inside of the hat? Wondering if it would even make a difference worth doing. I'm sure it wouldnt cost hardly anything to do....

Yes, tack a piece of metal to direct the air to the middle. I have the same mounting kit that you have and while it works well and the price was great, eventually my rotors always crack on the outside. I have cracked at least 10 rotors on the outside in the past 4 years. After some research I am convinced that it is because the most of the air is blowing on the inside ring of the rotor and not enough air is getting forced to the center and pushed through the vanes.
hmmm, interesting...your making me want to just skip that and get the Kenne Brown ducts now.if i prevent one set of rotors from craving early they will have paid for themselves.....
ive come into a set of what appears to be the KB brake cooling setup but the hoses are pretty well shot, wheres the best place to get new hoses?
I don't know how their pricing compares, but check out pegasusracing.com. They have various types and lengths available for purchase
I ordered this hose from Summit: Allstar Performance - racing and high performance car parts, accessories and specialty tools.
My old backing plates had oval inlets..it actually directs more of the air into the center hat of the rotor. It was a bit more difficult to attach the hose, but once on the hose clamp always held it firm.
FWIW, I never cracked a set of rotors, just billions of spider cracks. I did manage to wear 2 sets down to min thickness.
Wheelhopper and Force4.6 will testify that I did use my brakes as hard as they did, and with more weight behind them (lightweight bastards).
