Default Cold air intake for WS6

I'm sure this has been beat to death time and time again but I can't find a clear answer. I've seen all these different abbreviations for different set ups so I'll just ask. What is the best set up for a WS6? I've looked at the JAAM from WS6store it seems to be about the best set up I could think of, Is it what I should go with or is there something better? Right now I've got a SLP Flowpac.

Got the volant on mine, the airbox seals directly to my ram air system, There is no way any other system could do better than this, Air goes straight into the filters.

My Volant twin cone fits and seals great. However the supports for the radiator sucks.

I went with K&N FIPK CAI and I also took off The two baffles from the Ram Air, I left the one in the very front so the filter don't get wet when it rains.

Default JAAM owners please check in!!

I was just about to post a similiar Q on this topic.. i have removed the hood baffles on my WS6 and was interested on how much the WS6 hood works..Obviously its supposed to be Ram Air..wish i did back to back runs on b4 and after removing the baffles but i didnt..
I have spoke w/chr1313 about this and if I had a camaro i would b completely sold on his product and others that resemble it..makes sense
However, and chris brought this up, AREODYNAMICS!, said the air might actually be going over the WS6 Ram Air snouts! Ive tried a fair amount of research that and on the JAAM that FTP sells w/o much luck....on this sight a little talk like 3-4 yrs ago..
Anyone with results or any info on the actual functionality of a WS6 hood, I know initially that WS6 cars are rated 15 hp over a standard T/A because of advertised Ram Air and a more free flowing exhaust..

Just bust the baffles out of the snout and put 1/2" or 3/4" (don't remember) weatherstripping around the opening in the back. It should snug up pretty tight to your airbox. Provides a direct shot of outside air, pretty close to the original BG Ram Air kit which was track proven.
