Default Oil cooler hoses - routing

For the second time in a year I have a leak in oil cooler hoses in my STI. Hoses are routed from the oil filter adapter underneath the headers - apparently the heat is too high and the pipes simply begin to crack and leak after some time!!! Am I keep buing some cheap pipes or ... is it just bad luck? Is there other way to route those hoses to the front mounted oil cooler? How to shield them from the heat?

Pics would be nice, if you have any

I found some diy: http://www.iwsti.com/forums/2-5-lite...ler-setup.html but this dude used almost the same route as me.
