Default WS6 and SS air filters

I searched, but couldn't find anything. Are the WS6 and SS air filters the same size? (not the regulator LT1, i'm talkin the Ram Air)

I am pretty sure the WS6 filter is much bigger than the SS filter

the WS6 air filter is the same as a C4 corvette air filter for an LT1 and i think for an L98 as well... the camaro SS filter is nowhere near the size of a WS6 filter


WS6


SS

Ok. I see SLP makes a Blackwing filter for the SS, what about for WS6?

You put a Firebird Ram Air hood on your Camaro?! Why not just buy the Firebird in the first place and have a better car LOL But ok seriously: Did you fall on your head between the time of purchasing the Z and putting the WS6 hood on it?

Bringing this back up. I want to buy an SLP Blackwing filter for my WS6 airbox. I haven't been able to find one, where can I find one?

I don't feel like paying nearly $80 for a K&N filter. Anyone have any experience with AirRaid vs K&N?
