Default Which C5 Brake Ducts?

I want to buy front duct 'extentions' but I need some more knowledgable people to help me out I see A&A has some fiberglass units, and from what I hear DRM has some as well.

Who carries the DRM pieces? I have had very bad experiences with LG and would like to avoid them if possible.

DRM ducts are very nice and they are actually made of plastic molded in high quality. I got em on my T1 car and love them.

Just call Randy at the shop, I believe there is a picture of them on their website.

Can't say anything bad about LG cause I never seen their product. The guys at LG are very professional, so I am surprised of this & wonder what happened. I am sure they will make it right if you talk to Jr or Sr.

Good luck,

I can supply the ducts to you. Or just about any aftermarket shop in the US sells them also. I send stocking orders to Phoneix performance, LGM, ECS, PFYC, and a couple others. Just let me know if I can help!!!

Get the DRM's. Here's a comparison of the DRM's vs C6Z ducts. You can see how much larger the turn and hose opening are on the DRMs.



Great product.

I got the DRM ducts and love them.

You do have to enlarge the opening that is already in the front of the fenderwell. But to get more air to the brakes it is worth a little surgery.
