I dont have any experience with a WS6 but the chrs1313 is a very nice piece. The non ac version can really move some air, its a straight shot up to your lid. There are many satisfied chrs1313 owners. I picked up a tenth or 2 Id say

I went with the a/c version of the SSRA, and I honestly feel a little difference up top. Maybe it's just better throttle response, but either way the car seems more snappy like if you will at the higher speeds.

Its just a little thinner (3/4" to 1" roughly Id guess) because there isnt as much room there when the condensor is still in place. And yes, you def feel a difference in throttle response with these types of ram air's

I built a pretty sweet setup for my ws6 hood. I debaffled it and bought some 1" foam strip and aluminum c channel (cost me like $30 for everything from amazon) Seals up tightly and sealed all holes in the hood. There are a couple of big holes near the hood latch.

Any pics of this setup?

Ok pictures to come cost me $27.87 to build. A couple of rivets and some gorilla glue.
Had to run the C channel through my table saw to cut it down some and secured it with rivets. I glued the foam on with Gorilla Glue.
I cut another piece of C Channel down and secured it to the front of the air box. It makes contact with the hood to seal the bottom up. The strip on the bottom is offset a little to the right because the nostrils of the hood didnt exactly line up with the air box and I wanted a tight seal around the air box.
I did get a new best mph at the track after doing it 121mph and I still need some tuning work to lean it out a bit.
This is version 1.0 and could be made to look a little better. I sealed up the big holes in the hood with some aluminum tape when i hit the track. I plan on filling them in with some body filler eventually.

The WS6 hood I had on my 01 T/A was VFN (aftermarket), but I just used weatherstripping with adhesive backing on all four sides of the opening. By taking the grilles off with the hood closed, I determined that it sealed up flush to the airbox. I couldn't have had a more direct flowpath of cold air.
