IMO yes. Why not? if you can provide your brakes with air flow it would help with overheating and fading issues. Since the back side of the disk is covered and cooling rely on heat dissipation from the outside face of the disk...

An issue that may appear?
If the cooling vent is placed immediately after the caliper, could this be a problem and wrap the disk? and what if the vent is placed just before the caliper? would there be enough time to cool the disk?
What is the "correct" ie best place for the vents?

Also what kind of angle on the tube is better? I suppose that you would cut a hole and then weld a tube on the disck back plate to hold the flexible air hose as I remember someone doing it here a looong time ago.
Correct me if im wrong
