Anyone try this yet and notice any significant changes in oil temps? This is for guys with oil coolers mounted off to the side. Contemplating it if it'll help with temps at the track, but not too excited about cutting up my front fascia to put one of these in there...

If you don't want to cut into it, you are probably better off either 1) get the stillen brake cooling ducts and split it into a Y for brake and air cooling, or 2) just buy the adaptor on the fang and duct it urself....

It would be just as good or better if you installed a small Spal fan over the cooler instead of cutting front bumper

Why not buy a stillen front fascia? There's room for half a dozen coolers in there! Even for a track car, those ducts look very
Maybe something more along the lines of Nismo RC ducts?

Looks like a normal poly naca duct painted black and sold at 3x the price, though if it says GTM on it, I'm sold.
