I did the same type of ducting using flexible plastic/metal coil intake ducting that I bought from Kragen($10) I had enough to run two ducts; one from the oil cooler spot and one from next to the left fog light. I tried that ducting material that you have in your pic and had bad luck with it. It just pulled apart. BTW, I saw your post of the custome heat shield that you made. AWESOME.

thought i'd dig this thread up and say i did this mod, probably slightly different path on the ducting but that would be the only difference.
and it works great. at any speed, even as low as like 15mph, the temp around my filters rapidly drops toward the outside temp. i have two radio shack temp sensors in there to measure it, and the one closer to the end of the duct reads consistently lower than the one just a few inches away.
one question if damian is around or anyone knows:
best way to mount to the hole in the spoiler? right now i've got it duct taped but its kinda ugly....

damn, yeah i need that cap...
here is what i'm using to measure temps
http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=63%2D1035
its cheap but shows temp where the remote sensor is up to 70C and also shows the temp for where the main unit is. $20.

Very creative
I thought about that but never followed through with it. I was going to buy that stuff they use on race car windows for the drivers to get air, but I was gunna drill a hole instead of going underneath. I found some mounting plates with a short tube to mount the flexible hose on both sides and clamp them on. I wanted it to be strong at high speeds. I've even thought about using silicone hose but it was too expensive.
