    Default Quick brake duct hose question

    I was at the Lowes race shop today and looked that their HVAC hoses. They have some aluminum 3" hoses. Do people use this as a cheaper solution to brake ducting hoses?

    You want something that will bounce-back if you rub a tire on it. It really does need to keep it's shape.

    Dave,
    I tried that a few years ago. For the price, it was great!!! Very light weight. If it cracked, I used duct tape to patch it. It doesn't hold up very well, but to repeat myself, for the price.........

    Hey, it's half the price so you can AFFORD to replace it twice as much!


    (Sorry, Jeff, couldn't resist <grin> )
