Anyone know where I can source high quality air ducting like the one shown in the below pic?

Go to http://aircraftspruce.com/menus/search.php and type AERODUCT in the search window. There are 4 types for different applications.

BTW, this site is a good source of trick "aircraft type" components. I've ordered from them several times for the plane and the car.

I did the same thing a couple of years ago and I came up with a good way to make the connection to the foot boxes and also to shut the air flow off when it is not required. I found 2 old throttle bodies from 5.0L engines which I mounted on the footboxes. I got a couple of vacuum actuators (sp?) from an older Mopar heater/AC unit which I mounted on fabricated brackets. The air flow can now be easily turned on or off. The only problem is that I don't get as much air as I would like to have especially on really hot days.

McMaster has the fibreglass reinforced ducting and any good race car supply house also.
Throttle bodies for valves, that's clever, I bet they work well.
