Hi Randy, I think I met you at PRI??
Hi, I've been making ducts like the long ones (I call them Intermediate because they're in between the nose and the backing plate) for Subaru's for a few years now. I've been testing a new concept that takes a lot of the complexity out of the cooling tract and replaces good old passive momentum with electronics. The side benefit is less drag with a small decrease in undercar pressure as the fans grab the air and spit it out the wheels.
