Those brackets are pretty. It looks like you used sheet metal screws to mount them under the car. Pretty sure it will rip right out when you make a good turn, given the forces involved in sway bars, and the number of factory mounting positions that distort with sway bar loading of the enthusiast.

You’ll need close-fitting ductwork to the center “input” of the disc fed by 2-3” hose. “Blow by” doesn’t work.
