now this one is mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) a simple naca duct bonded into the fibreglass flares.

Connects to a 3" pipe that runs into a modified 911 intake chamber.

I like it!! It was hard to get a visual of how it would look on a street car.

The version on the red car is not too bad either, other that the bolt on look.

Has anyone ever used the center tunnel as a duct??

With a little creative plumbing it might work


If the red car you're talking about is mine I'm planning on working it into the body so it doesn't look quite so bolt on. I just have to figure out how to do that (and I also have to fins the things, I lost them when I took them off at the beginning of my restoration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )


Hey jd74, did you get them at pep boy's, ? do you have a part number??

Do you have any pics of how it's plumbed into the engine bay?

IDk where they were bought, sorry. They also have no plumbing as of yet. I was planning on leaving them unused for now because my eventual goal is to put a /6 in so I would like to put oil coolers in them.

Hope you plan something a little cleaner and more integrated than this car.

Apologies if it's someone here.


Now THAT's a NAPA (or maybe Pep Boys) duct!


nope, this is a Pep Boys duct (I just love PO things lol)

Its got 165/85's on it now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
They are the old 70s michelin tread pattern. I need to replace them before I register it, but first it needs paint. I think I streched the fenders just enough to fit 205s in. I'm not sure she's going to stay red tho, she was originally signal orange so I'm debating between red and going back to that color.

...On NASCAR stock cars I always wonder how well the three NACA ducts work located in the rear side window behind the open drivers window. I know the NASCAR guys use plenty of wind tunnel time, but it looks like the airflow after the drivers window would be turbulent...

It's not, it's smooth.

what problem are you actually trying to solve?

most of the race cars that do this, are feeding a tranny cooler or specific cooler that requires the air flow

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. Maybe to your carbs?

The only problem with scoops in the rocker panel is picking up a lot more dust and water from the road surface.
