I'm thinking of making a brake cooling duct with the air that goes through my front-mounted oil cooler and running hoses into the wheel wells, but don't know where to start. Does anyone have any designs or pics of their brake cooling ducts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What I mean is the air that runs through the oil cooler and gets trapped in the hood. There isn't enough ventilation from the two holes at the floor of the trunk to get rid of all the air and my hood is starting to float at high speeds. Whoever cut the hole for the cooler did it too big and I have way too much airflow in the front trunk, so I figured I could somehow siphon off most of the air into the wheelwell, aiming it at the brakes. So from what I gather, that air is not hot at all. Does that make sense?


I thought I saw a picture somewhere of the inside of the front trunk with a scoop and two hoses leading to the wheelwells... Anyone know what I'm talking about?!
