Default I need a Ram Air

I am looking to buy a ram air kit for my camaro. I have a p/p ls6 intake manifold and p/p throttle body. I do not have the stock intake anymore all I have is a temporary pipe and filter hooked up. I need a full ram air kit that runs up from under the car any suggestions?

This ram air gets my vote, and it starts from under the car...

I picked up a Chris1313 ram air (speed inc sells them) and it looks like a nice piece.

Its a supercharger ^^^ just a joke to get my day started, but it does "ram air"

I used to have the fast toys ram air on my N/A set up. No problems and easy to install. I never drive my car in the rain but if do just be careful of large puddles.
Here's a link...

The most common ones are the SSRA, FTRA, and Chris1313 scoop kits. All of them are pretty close to each other performance wise. I went with the SSRA because it seemed to have the easiest install and was cheaper. Just be sure to get the right version of a kit (depends on if you have AC or are deleting it).

After lots of research and asking many people the SSRA is the way to go installation wise. Not saying its better performance wise but the chrs1313 requires cutting of the hood latch and I'm not a fan of hacking something when it doesn't have to be, but that's just me

i dont have an ac and i checked out the one on that link and im not sure if its a full kit. I need a kit from the throttle body/mas and that one doesnt look like it has everything. I no longer have anything from the stock intake. If anyone knows of a full kit and a link to find it please let me know. thanks
