Note this image just shows a temporary mockup and not the final zip tie positions. Reference below for the guide of where to zip tie and cut.
Turns out the 997 GT3 brake ducts fit really well on the Emira control arms and hang down the perfect amount to scoop air and redirect it into the center of the brake brake rotor to pump the air out. The nice part is this mod should only cost you about $50.
