Brake duct removal
Hey guys, so my brake ducts are basically broken and just flopping around inside the front bumper. I constantly have to realign them inside the bumper...which is annoying because when they are not aligned correctly they can come into contact with my front wheels when making a sharp turn, and it makes this horrible noise since the entire front bumper starts vibrating.
My question is, can i just remove these brake ducts/throw them out? I plan on replacing them...but just for the mean time I would like to get rid of them to avoid the brake ducts hitting my tires. |

If you take your front bumper off, you can bolt them in place. All that is required is drill a small hole in the top of the brake duct and it will never come loose again.

I did this on both sides on my MC. I purchased nylon bolts and nuts from Home Depot. They have been on for the last three or four years with out complaint.

^^ +1 did this a long time ago.
The OE clips are just plasti-welded and not a great design.

Do you have to take the bumper off and then screw them on or can I just jack the car, get under there and screw the brake ducts on? My driver side duct is flopping a bit.

You have to take the bumper off to get to the bracket to attach them. There's a DIY for removing the bumper that is pretty good.
