Default Possible increase in air flow for WS6 hood??

Has anyone tried this mod to a WS6 hood rather than using a FRA or FTRA?

Get the Brian Green Ram Air system. The baffles come out, and it seals the scoops to the airbox.

I third it! It's the coolest. It seals the nostrils to the airbox and knocks out all the baffling. You put in a rain blocking plate when it rains, no big deal. I did feel a pretty big improvement with it, plus when you rev, you hear the air sucking through the nostrils <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> You won't regret getting this
It looks like the price has gone up since I got mine. It was $100 cheaper for the full kit a year ago if I remember right

Thanks for the help fellas

Has anyone had any problems with the BG Kit?
It looks like a great kit. Is it better than the FTRA?
