What induction for WS6 now that BG Ram Air kit is out of production? I'd like to replace the induction on my '02 WS6 T/A with something more efficient and was interested in the BG Ram Air kit but learned that it is out of production. Can anyone recommend a decent induction replacement for a WS6, or something that takes advantage of the WS6 hood?
Thx

drill out the rivets in your hood and remmove the baffels in the scoop and buy some 1" rubber sealing stuff fro home depot and put it around the opening on the inside of your hood so it seals the hood to the air box. just make sure you use an oiled filter incase of rain. same thing as BGRA about 275$ cheaper.

make a BG type setup yourself. You can seal the hood off to the intake inlet with some dense foam rubber, and remove all the baffles out of the hood. Probably not as good as a BGRA, but as good as you probably can get if you want to utilize the hood's intake nostrils.

Looks like I'll be fabbing up my own. I moonlight as a tool and die maker so making it shouldn't be a problem. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. Thanks for the replies.

Click here for more details on how I built it. It took a bit of time because I wanted it to fit perfect. My fear of making more is that they won't necessarily fit another WS6 hood just like mine.

custom make your own BGRA, its harder to make one for the lid because it has to seal in that small opening, so I have a volant cai and air gets through easier than the lid.

In addition to sealing the hood to the airbox, the BGRA also has shaped inserts that go inside the "nostril" air passages to funnel the air towards the exit at the back of the airbox.
BTW, I'm not using my BGRA anymore since I swapped to the Procharger. If anybody wants it, make me an offer. The foam seal is still in pretty good shape since I normally didn't keep it on the car. **BGRA IS SOLD **
