DarkHorse front brake ducts in a GT 5.0 PP?

[LoneRanger57]

I have a GT 5.0 with PP on order and want to get more air to the front brakes because I will be doing track days at Willow Springs and Chuckwalla.
The DH has brakes ducts in the lower front corners of the bumper cover the GT doesn't, does anyone know if I can buy the DH brake ducts from Ford Performance and swap out my blocked off corners for some fresh air?

I think they both actually use air diverters on the control arm for brake cooling. I did not think any of them had actual ducts.

Dark Horse has ducts and diverters.

I don't know that you'd be able to put them on a PP but I can tell you the DH ducts are on the outside edges of the lower grill. The outer driver's side is for the oil cooler and the passenger side is blocked off.

On the DH there are openings in the corners that feed the vains directly.
Benefits are very visable in fluid dynamic (aero) models.

I have a PP Mustang and it has the brake ducts and what some call diverters. It also has an oil cooler which requires venting through the inner fender well.
The strakes/diverters are shipped in the trunk and dealer installed when car arrives.

Yep, you can definitely use the DH brake ducts on your GT. I did that swap on my own car for track days, and it made a noticeable difference in cooling.

Where did you get the ducts? Do you have part numbers? how much were they?
Thanks

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re asking about. My PP GT has ducts from the corners of the lower grill that are wide open to to wheel well and point directly at the deflectors on the lower control arms to direct air at the back of the rotor.

I may have been misinformed about the ducts in the GT PP, guess I'll have to wait until the car shows up to see if the ducts are there.

If you ordered the PP GT it comes with them. Drop Mike!
