3" hose, I actually removed the stock washer bottle and replaced it with a universal from napa for $8. I wanted the Stillen replacement tank, but they wont sell theirs without the complete CAI kit. I will eventually get some kind of CAI, so getting rid of the bottle was not an issue for me. You could theoretically flip the ducts I put in 180 degrees and route it the same way as the Nismo ducts. I didn't really like the idea of smashing the hose underneath the stock water bottle, getting less flow on one side seemed dangerous to me, if you are pushing your brakes to the limit having one side overheating. Maybe I'm just paranoid...

Has anybody made a set of these with a somewhat respectable price?

This is the same pic posted earlier in this thread. I am going to attempt this on my Nismo.

I decided to go with the revotec 4" (102mm) circular air inlets connecting to the Stillen brake cooling kit. I'll obviously need a 4 to 2 reducer as well. The inlets were about $50 and the Stillen kit is approx $235. I'll let you know how it goes.

When I did my brake ducts. This was my second idea I had in mind.

^ Your vents came out excellent and you seem to know what you're doing. I'm not as capable so I figure just drilling circles will be much easier for me. Then I'll connect the ducting to the inlets and have a performance shop in SoCal install the rest of the kit along with Hawk HP+ pads and SS lines. That's the plan at least...
