Some cars it bolts right on.. other have to "massage" it to work. Yes, with a little work or not you can make it work.

I believe the user "java" on here put one on his T/A. I think he had to offset it to the rear by drilling new holes. You may want to contact him about that.

You can also cutout the "nose" on the stock firebird hood... make a "stealth" ram air..

Lower WS6 airbox fit fine on my T/A with Direct Flo Lid, you don't have to get an ugly hood to make it work.
