I heard it's not really good to do the FRA mod with a WS6, so I never did.

I couldn't agree more. Bad side to it is you will either need to clean your filter more, if it's a k&n, or replace it more if its a paper filter. Upside if it need's to be cleaned more or changed, IT MUST BE getting MORE AIR. which is a good thing.

Yeah, I don't think you could notice a diff. but every little bit helps! I think I did notice a little more intake noise when I did it but that was a long time ago so I may not be remembering correctly.

I did it and lid at the same time. So I figure it was a bit of a combination of both. The way I look at it: $0, every little bit helps, change the filter when you change the oil.

I did it and the lid and I think it does make the throttle response a little quicker but then again that was on a nice cool night. But hey its free and it can't hurt.

Any increase in air flow will help you later on when you start doing boltons and exhaust.

I agree. That's a good starting point modwise.
