DETAILS
APR Brake Cooling Ducts are engineered to deliver serious cooling performance where it matters most. Designed with an aerodynamically-optimized “funnel” profile, these ducts take advantage of the venturi effect—drawing in large volumes of air and accelerating it as it moves from the wide front opening into the narrower duct outlet. Paired with high-temperature ducting, they supply a continuous stream of fresh airflow to the brakes, helping reduce rotor temperatures and maintain consistent performance lap after lap.
Excess heat is one of the most damaging forces in motorsports, affecting brakes, radiators, drivetrains, and more. APR Air Ducts bring targeted airflow to critical areas, improving cooling efficiency and protecting your investment. Constructed using pre-preg carbon fiber composites, they deliver exceptional strength, minimal weight, and a premium motorsport aesthetic.
Features
The installation was a bit tricky, but the instructions were very helpful. A few deviations I did make:
- On my 2018 STI, I did not cut any part of the crumple zone structure, the hose routed under the windshield washer reservoir and everything reinstalled.
- I also used a 3.5" hole saw everywhere, but the hole placement in the directions is pretty much spot on and everything lined up nicely.
- I highly recommend that you take the extra few minutes to check fitment actually bolting the caliper in place as the clearance between the backing plate and the caliper is very close. It may save you some frustration down the road.
- I also had to run down to my local hardware store and get a longer bolt for one of the holes, but that cost $2 and I was going there anyway for some other parts.
In all, very happy with the benefit these generate and I can't complain about the look either!!
