Was wondering if anyone still made and sold the BG Ram Air mod? I had on a long time ago and loved it. Thinking of getting another WS6 and would like to get another BG Ram Air to o on it. Thanks for the help.

The closest thing I have seen is the JAMM or JAAM which ever. Ws6store has it on their site but not sure if they still carry it or not.

I have the BG ram air and it's a great kit...better than the JAAM I believe because the BG actually has the molded funnels for the hood nostrils. But no one sell it anymore, you can't even buy replacement gaskets for it.

Brian Greene (BG) made the best possibile kits for these hoods. I had one as well, and wish I would have removed it before I sold that car, just in case I ever needed one again. I think I still have a couple of spare gaskets leftover somewhere in my basement, but not the rest of the kit.

Too bad he quit making them - there's still plenty of demand. It would be great if he would sell his rights to another aftermarket provider.

I bought a used one even though I didn't have a WS6 - just because they're so rare and hard to find. It's on a friend's car now. At the track stock, his IAT's would run 20-30* hotter than mine with homemade CAI. After the BGRA, he'd run 10* cooler than mine. Kit just plain works.

If you wanna sell me your leftover gaskets shoot me a PM.

I'll keep that in mind next time I run across them. I know I have one or two somewhere, but can't remember where I last saw them.

Not trying to hijackyour thread, but does this JAAM intake seal up with an aftermarket lid and your hood nostrils together and use a metal plate on the underneath side?

I was finally able to find it the othe day. It was on the Speed inc web site. When I first started to mod my 2001 WS6 this was one of the first mods I did and I loved it. At the track I did see a nice drop in et with this mod.

Just went to Speed inc web site and noticed that they only sell the replacement gasket. :( Thats sad!

I saw one for sale (no sure here or on ebay); from reviews i saw it seemed to be a better setup than jaam. But i remember the seller wanting $300 for it (used obviously) although sometimes i wonder if it was worth it afterall.

I'll tell you what tho... I weather stripped the gap between the hood and front of the air box, and while driving i consistently see iat within 2 degrees of ambient temperatures. Naturally it'll rise when it's sitting, but it's a substantial improvement from it being nearly engine temps without it

Unfortunately they don't sell that either. I tried to buy one last month from Speed inc and they aren't being manufactured anymore. I don't know why they don't take it down...just frustrates the customer.
