the 98-99 dont have the hole for the AIR tube but 00-02 does have it. and reason cold air kit isnt recommended for ws6 and SS is because they already have a bigger air box for ram air...i guess?

because sealing the intake to the hood may be a better option for ss/ws6 i would guess...

It will only be as cold as it is outside and ambient temperatures under the hood.

I cut the 2 rain deflectors in my WS6 hood and built a funnel out of aricraft aluminum that flows into the air box. Then i just picked up some weatherstripping and lined the opening in the hood that mates with the aribox for a tighter seal. so far,........ no issues, just better throtel response and I feel like she really picks up better at higher speeds.. just don't take of the honey comb grills,.....(lil security for ya).

im just saying the only air flow is from a little gap on the air box. i would think more air from a bigger hole woudl be better
