Just got my ducts from Fred Beans. It looks like they've got enough lip to put a hose on, but I think I'll put a screw through the hose to help hold it with the clamp.

It's going to take some time to figure out the best setup. Still, for $6 you can afford to screw up a few.

If I understand these posts, these things look like they attach to a common part on the existing duct and pass through the fender well using the existing hole. If true, that's the real beauty.

Fred Beans
Ordered a set of Z06 brake ducts from Fred Beans for my '05 Z51. UPS said they delivered, but no package at my door. I called UPS and they said to call primary sender, Fred Beans, to coordinate investigation of package. I've tried many many times to call Fred Beans, always get a message, I've left multiple messages to call me back about my shipment, but they haven't called. I emailed my problem to them, along with UPS tracking number and all info, and haven't been replied to. Anybody else have a problem with this? My hands are up in the air-- I've tried calling and emailing multiple times, and can't get through, and they won't reply. Weird.

Crying shame - it was always a pleasure to do business with Gene, his service was second to none. He told me he actually designed their website in his spare time!

frt brake ducts do not fil
I purchased C6 Zo6 frt brake ducts, #15829066 and 15829067.
They don't seem anywhere close to fitting;seem too long but frt opening appears to fit.
Does anyone have any ideas how to make these fit or other options to get cooling to frt rotors on C6 Z51? thanks!

You will have to remove the existing duct and replace it with the new one. The fender liner will have to be pulled back and trimmed for clearance.
