I don't have a WS6 so don't complain if I am wrong.

But I believe Brian Green (BG Ram air kit) makes something like that.
or do you mean something like the K+N FIPK or Volant setups

He used to be a sponsor somewhere, but I don't think anymore.

One of our sponsors carries the kit I believe. I forget who though. Try the search function

Does anyone have complaints against Volant filter packs. I have one and I am not sure if I like it too much.

Question duct work?

Is there any ductwork being routed from the grill area?

You would have to route your own dryer duct and
cobble up a plate to bring them up through the
"free ram air" hole. Or, if you just do the hole
without cutting the radiator ducting panel, the
"free ram air" will be drawing from the nose space
which the "nostrils" (on a Camaro grille anyway,
dunno much about 'birds) flow into, albeit poorly
due to some excess styrofoam. Relieve these
with a steak knife, and put some spacers between
the radiator ducting panel and the sheet metal
"lip" on the radiator sheet metal beam (I use fat
heater hose chunks, crosswise with a little "keeper"
slit to get a 1/2" air gap). The nostril-to-bottom-
of-air-cleaner path will be "ductless" but fairly
clear and the heat transfer from the radiator will
not be as bad as a FRA setup. This is basically how
my hacked SLP CAI setup is, now, except I had to
replace the panel segments that SLP CAI as-stock
requires you to cut out, with some plastic sheet
stock.
