Front Brake ducting for Intake air source
What if the some of the air from the front brake ducting was diverted into the area of the Air Filters?
The stock C6 ducts have an opening the size of a silver dollar. Open it up and take half of that incoming air and put it into the area just above it.
Has anyone experimented with this?

What they are saying nicely is that what you want to do is not only pointless because of the great cold air intakes on the market; but taking air away from your front brakes is detrimental.

When the C6 was developed, they tried to run bigger ducts for the front brakes but the car lifted at high speeds, so they went with a smaller duct even though heat build up was greater on the rotors.
If you eliminated that ducting you would heat the brakes way too much.
Good idea though! I have seen some take air from the inside of the fender wells and of course you have seen the ducting on the fender of the C5 and C6 R variants.
