I am looking at getting a ram air hood from american sprts car design and I was wanting to have it functional. I have been looking at the Ws6 models and the air box doesnt look any different than mine.? Is it? This may be a really dumb question but I just couldnt see any noticeable differences... can someone help me out?

 

The slot in the front of the airbox is larger. That's all I could notice.

 

So when I buy a the hood i am talking about willi need to buy a new airbox to link up to the hood? and where would i beable to get one?

 

Hmm, I'm not sure. The larger slot is there to optimize the function of the nostrils, but I'm sure the stock airbox would work fine as well. In any case you could always do the free ram air mod.

 

So when I get the hood just leaving my stock airbox there will stick give me the ram air effect, but if I do the free ram air mod it will give me a little bigger area for air to flow into? I also plan ongetting a slp whisper lid. Do they have a larger air inlet?

 

There might be a ram air effect, probably just not as pronounced as in a normal WS6. Teh Free Ram Air mod is cutting out the bottom of the air box, not the front, but yes, in esssence, it'll allow more air to flow. The SLP lid is just the liod -- the part you lift up when you want to mess with the feliter or the airbox. It does'nt have an air inlet, but it's just bigger.

 

Forget the lid, go for the K&N FIPK kit. It allows you to take in a much larger volume of air than any lid and drop-in. If you dont have a loud exhaust, you can actually hear the air getting sucked in. I would recommend this over the lid if you plan on changing out the box.

 

i drilled out the baffles on my WS6 hood, now i can look straight thru to the air box, way better than having the air flow around those baffles.
