I like it. I wonder why they left it off?

Mine's got it... :P

I don't have.

just when I don't think Theo is here, he's creeping around in the technical just waiting for the good posts.

Just make your own, it's fairly easy... especially if you remove the foglights from your front bumper. :mrgreen:

That's an awful lot of work to duplicate a factory piece that just snaps on. But it prolly works better.

Check out Gary's solution:

It's pretty busted up, but you get the idea.

It does work better, no question. Since the factory duct on the WRX looks fairly small in cross-sectional area and it just dumps air into the fenderwell area my guess is its effectiveness is marginal at best. To really get a noticeable effect you need to run ducting right up near the center of the rotor to blow right into it... this works pretty well and is also totally do-able in your garage. For maximum effectiveness you need a close-fitting backing plate that isolates the rotor center from outside air & insures all the ducted air from the front will be directed into the rotor... this isn't very easy or cheap to do though.

There's a guy on CC.com custom TIG welding up these for about $250 a pair...

I would check, but...

Sorry for the disapearing act. I started a new job last week and have been limping around with a bad back. No fun.

Many thanks to Scott and Debbie for helping me change tires and such for the trip back Sunday. How embarasing.

OMG Debi! That was the best reply evAr!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaah! My roomate just came across the hall because I was laughing so hard...I did not see that coming!


BTW, My wagon had the ducts, the seemed to small to do much, but who knows.

Here's pictures of a WRX owners custom front ducting...

You can also remove the dust/splash shields behind the rotors at each wheel for better airflow... I took 'em off of my car.
