Default WS6 Intake Options

I have a 2001 WS6 and want to know what my best intake options are for it? Also why the ram air hood has air dams in it that appear to block the airflow as opposed to letting it flow freely?

the car already has an LS6 intake. The money you would spend for a new intake can be better spent somewhere else on the car. Most guys drill out the rivets on the ram air hood then take that baffle out.

Mine is removed. Its rains here very once and a while, not a big deal, but if I lived in a Rainy area I wouldn't do it if its your Daily Driver. I only drive mine in clear weather.
