I used the foam sealing tape sold for house windows weather sealing,etc. comes in different widths and thickness generally with a sticky side. I just find the thickness/width that fill in the gap and stick it to the outside of the duct. I have found that the adhesive that comes with the tape may not be sufficient, so I use some of the 3M adhesive. This approach is cheap and easy to replace and modify. The tape can usually be found in white, grey and black colors.

Greetings, I did the first test fit of my cooling ducts, and there's hope for them. I still haven't decided exactly what I'm going to do to seal the front of the duct to the cowl inlet. There's only about 1/8" gap at most, and I'm thinking that it will probably work fine without any additional seal, however, I'll probably try to put some sort of foam strip to get some sort of a seal. I looked through all the pics I have, and can't find a picture that shows the front of anyone's duct. How are you guys sealing these to the cowls? Pictures???
