Default ws6 ram air question

On my ram air hood there are piece(s) of black plastic inside the scoops. How do I remove them? I just want the outside air going straight into the lid. Thanks

The bottom of the hood has some rivets you have to drill out and then you can remove the baffles.

Search for debaffle hood and you should find a good many posts on this.

i took out the rear ones but left the front. I would think the ones in the back provide the most restriction since they go back up. I figured keeping the front baffels would help deflect water.

worked perfectly. i ended up taking all the plastic pieces out. i read on here that if i have a k&n filter it soaks up water pretty good. i hardly ever drive my t/a in the rain anyway

I just removed two of the Plastic baffles with a flathead screwdriver and a hammer, I just hammered the screwdriver to the little nail heads from the ram air till they fell off.
