WS6 Ram Air Q's
I know there is a way cause they acually have the filter mounted, with a gasket around the filter to seal it against the hood. I don't think you can do it with the factory hood though. I will see if I can find out where I seen that at though.

Just pop the hood and you will see rivets ( wich hold the baffles in place). Get a drill with a small drill bit and drill out the rivets. After that put your and in there and pull out the baffles. The front baffles ( closest to the black grill )are a little harder to take out because they have glue on them. So just rock it back and forth untill it comes out.

You will be wasting your time bro. You will get much more air from a FTRA (or similar) setup. These cars are bottom breathers and naturally pick up their air from underneath from the air deflector. I have a WS6 too and I tried using the nostrils to route air in. Trust me, the best way is underneath. Seal the front of your airbox and open up the bottom. Ask around...I promise you you will hear the same thing.

Verdad Gallardo We sell the JAAM kit. Basically it involvs removing the baffles from inside your hood scoop and then installing the seals included in the kit. The lower plate (the part that can be bought seperately), makes the lower nostrils in your hood functional as well. Once you close the hood, the seals meet with your air box and you have a true, sealed ram air hood.

So my question is what can I see more of a gain with in the long run the Jaam Kit or yours?
We have only specifically tested the FTRA and it typically yields 2 tenths and 1-1.5 MPH in the quarter mile. People usually see 5-7 % increase in fuel economy and much better throttle response at highway speeds.
The JAAM kit will yield similiar results but probably a little less since it is pulling air from the hood which is not as efficient as a bottom breathing design on an fbody. People that have purchased the kit are still very happy with it
Yes and No. They will not be blocked in any away but they will no longer supply cold air to the air box. Instead, they will just help cool the engine bay.
+1 FTRA, ive had mine for well over 2 years on my 98 T/A and had one on my 98 RS. Just make sure you seal u the box good. This will give you better flow than the nostrils. And you dont have to tear apart your hood
