Brake Cooling Duct Race Kit is THE ONLY complete package that you need for mounting the plumbing for brake ducts to your E46 M3 or Spec E46 Race Car. Our race kit incorporates a powder coated aluminum tube between the inlet and the flex tube where the contact point of the tire would be. This prevents you from instantly wearing a hole in your very expensive to replace flex tube.

SUITABLE FOR BRAKE DISCS UP TO 355mm. This version kit has silver colour backing plates.

Our kit uses a powdercoated metal bracket that mounts to the frame of your BMW M3 which allows removal of your front bumper while leaving the entire kit in place for fast track repairs. No need to fumble with bolts, screws and duct clamps, or unintentionally ripping our your flex tubing in the process.

Our quality ABS molded duct inlets are designed to endure the rigor of racing while saving you hundreds of dollars on your build budget! They're even lighter than expensive carbon fiber and resin alternatives.

This kit requires you to run a E46 M3 Style Bumper. (may work with ZHP and MTech2 bumpers)

PLEASE NOTE : Removal of your your washer fluid tank and AC plumbing is required. If you want to retain these item please check out our STREET DUCT KIT, featured elsewhere on this web section, as well as related items as follows :
- Backing plates on their own, various sizes
- Fog replacement brake ducts on their own
