Default WS6 air box/lid

I have the regular hood on my 99 ta, I found a WS6 hood the same color and it is oem. If i install the hood do i need a different lid/air box than the stock on for a non-ws6 ta. thanks

Nope it wouldnt really be worth it in my opinion. You already have the aftermarket lid so any gains would be marginal.

Thanks I did not know if the WS6 came with a taller air box. Just wanted to make sure everything would work together.

The WS6 Airbox IS taller!!!!! The opening on the bottom is about an inch taller to accept the hood!!!!!!!

You don't NEED to - it's really not going to gain you anything. If you look at the way the baffles are set up in the WS6 hood, the fresh air comes out of the top of the opening above the baffle. So the WS6 airbox is made a little taller to capture that incoming fresh air.

I would get the taller base, might as well take advantage of the WS6 hood scoop
