Has anyone ever heard of removing the fog lights of a 85 mustang and useing dryer hose to go from the fog light holes to the 2 spots in the breather as to get "MORE AIR" You would also screen the holes for dirt etc.. ??

Heard of it, but never have seen anyone get real significant gains from it. Be careful about ducting hose too close to the ground; engines don't like it when those things suck up water.

I removed my fogs and plan on ducting in to my tranny cooler which is mounted behind the pass fog light and my oil cooler behind the drivers fog. I figure put a screen over the front and it will protect them from rocks and crap.

isnt that dryer hose ribbed? if so, but the time it gets to the airfilter, it will make no difference

I have not seen the set up but dryer hose is ribbed I guess so are you saying all the air would leak?? If so could you route abs plastic tube or something?? Connecting to the breather may not be simple with tube but would the extra air really do much on a street car? Someone I know says try it but I don't like doing something for nothing you know??

well think about it, if its ribbed, and the air has to go through bends to get to the air box (which it will) your velocity will be lost by the time it gets there becuase the air is smacking the ribs, and slowing down...

The stock dual snorkel setup on the 85 gt is pretty good as it is. You won't gain much by taking out the fog lights.

I thought that the foglight delete was used for brake cooling.
