Default A better WS6 Ram Air

I got the idea from the pople making ram air out of stock hoods.

You know how the WS6 ram holes are only on the top. I'm going to cut inlet hole on the bottom front of the hood. That way i'll have 4 ram holes.

I'll try it this weekend and tell you how it goes. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

The area you are talking about supports the hood latch. Since the hood is made of fiberglass... I would not cut it.

That is a good mod for guys with non ram airs.. but there hoods are made out of metal.
