SPECIAL! – Quantum C5, C5 Z06, & Base C6 Competition Brake Cooling Ducts – NEW
We are proud to introduce our new C5, C5 Z06 & Base C6 Competition Brake Cooling Kits. Along with the introduction we are offering forum members special pre-production discount pricing.
These ducts are designed to fit both the C5, C5 Z06 and C6 equipped with the base model braking system. These will not fit a C6 Z51.
This special is limited to only 20 kits.
Now for some more info on the kit:
The plates were designed in SolidWorks using CAD data direct from GM. Fit and finish is perfect.
Plates are made of 1/8” thick 6061-T6 aluminum, and the tube is 3” O.D. 6061-T6 with 1/8” wall. Welding process used: TIG. These will not bend, flex or break!
They install without removal of the hubs and use existing holes as mounting points. We supply an additional support bracket, (shown on the back side of the spindle) to secure the duct near the caliper.
We assure you they are VERY simple to install.
The kits include everything you need.
You will not find a higher quality duct for the Corvette.
Pre Production Forum Pricing:
Duct Plate Kit - $105.00 + Shipping
Street Kit - $135.00 + Shipping (includes black neoprene hose)
Race Kit - $165.00 + Shipping (includes orange silicone hose)
Mounting hardware is Grade 8 zinc coated. Overkill we know, but it doesn't cost us much more to supply better hardware so we do.
PLEASE NOTE: These plates are getting ready to go into production right now, which means they will not ship for 2-3 weeks so please be patient after you place your order.
This is a PRE-PRODUCTION special.
We accept all major credit cards and even have a toll free number: 1-888-422-9685.
To place your order give us a call and hit extension 1. Tell us that you want to C5/C6 competition ducts and specify if you just want the plate kit, street kit or race kit.
Remember we are limiting this special to 20 kits. After we get 20 orders that’s it. So get your order in early!
Finally please remember C5 cars not equipped with Doug Rippie Motorsports ducts will require them, base C6 cars not equipped with C6 Z06 ducts will require those as well to make these ducts completely functional.
Thanks,
Jon Lambert

Technical information on the hose:
Street Hose:
Neoprene coated polyester fabric mechanically bonded to an external wire to stand up to the rigors of everyday driving, an operating temperature range from -45 deg. F. to 250 deg. F, and a compression ratio of 6:1. Color is black.
Race Hose:
Silicon coated polyester fabric mechanically bonded to an external wire to stand up to the rigors of everyday driving, an operating temperature range from -45 deg. F. to 650 deg. F, and a compression ratio of 6:1. Color is orange.
Mechanically bonded means the fabric is actually crimped inside the wire during production. This means no glue to break down and cause the fabric to separate from the wire.
We recommend the street hose for the occasional track adventurer. Hard core track guys will want the race hose.
These ducts are designed to fit both the C5, C5 Z06 and C6 equipped with the base model braking system. These will not fit a C6 Z51.

you guys need to pick up the phone... I left a message and have been calling for two days now with no answer.
with how quickly some business are going under these days I'm not so sure I want to leave a deposit with a company I can't even get a call back from, let alone get a hold of.

I assure you we are not going under.
I also assure you we are not "taking deposits"
We do not charge for ANY product until is ships.
Also if your name is Mark, we had a difficult time making out the number you left on the voicemail....
We tried several numbers until we think we got the right one and have in turn left you a message.

We do have one that will fit the C6 Z51 here:http://www.quantummotorsports.com/C5...vette_Kits.htm
It is our universal C5/C6 kit. Fits no matter what brakes you are running. It is also very economical.
It is true that we do not have a "competition" kit to fit the C6 Z51. We have found that most guys that track the C6 Z51 hard downgrade the brakes, as the drilled rotors are prone to cracking. This is why we have designed this kit around the more universal base model brakes.
We also know that we have the Z51 owner covered with the product in the link above. It may not be a trick as our competition plate design but it will do the job for the occasional track outing and street car.
Thanks guys,
Jon

Not everyone with a C6 Z51 is downgrading. Also, I have the DRM ducts. I like the better design, where the plate is more complete since I brake very hard. I was just in the process of ordering the spindle ducts from a competitor when I saw your post. I do not look forward to removing the wheel bearing, but feel a full plate design offers better cooling.
Any chance you would do a run for my setup?

The person who takes our orders has been in and out of the office for the last few days with health issues. We are doing our best to address all calls but I am not in the office at all times either as I am out on consulting jobs.

Thanks for the quick response. I received a couple messages from you guys last night but wasn't able to respond. I'll be in touch this afternoon.

If you could get a group of 10 people here together for a group purchase we would have no trouble doing a production run.
We would honor the same prices posted for these ducts for a future Z51 production run/group purchase.

Burning Brakes
Ordered a set for my '04 Z06 this week. Can't wait for them to arrive. Winter project includes installing DRM brake ducts, new Pfadt SKF front wheel bearings, the Quantum spindel ducts, and a Phoenix front tow hook that's been sitting on the shelf for a year. I have a C6 shifter sitting on the shelf also that I bought for my prior Z. I'll probably get around to installing that as well.
