It was during a discussion of cutting a vent into the bumper, but i can't recall
Correct. The only time a ram air effect would be of any use starts well past speeds and power our cars are capable of. If a car is sucking in gallons of air at 200mph, sure.

All exposed filters would do is lead to dirty filters.

I don't think anybody was talking about a ram air effect, just a good source of cold air. I have seen a few tests of CAI's on dyno's where the results were improved with the bumper removed.

Dirt getting on the filters however is definitely going to be a big issue, but at least I can get the filter out through the wheel well. I could even put a dust filter behind the grill, or even a rain sock over the filter like what they use on motorbikes.

Those vents are just crying out to be used. Perhaps I'll run a pipe to the brake rotors instead.

I was going to look into 3d printing ducts for brake cooling myself.
