So what you are saying is that they do not make anything to cover the large gap of the WS6 air box, making it not worth the FTRA/SSRA?
If that is the case, then I will just buy a regular airbox.

Would it make any sense to keep the WS6 box, get a SSRA, and not block off the air box opening?

Wait, your car dos have a WS.6 hood right? If so just debaffle it and call it good. That's just as close to ram air as those other kits, and it's free. Like previous posters have said, there are better things to spend your money on.

So just cut out the baffles built in the hood so it is direct from the opening to the air box. I have a SLP Ram Air HO hood and just cut awayYou can see into the airbox with the hood shut. The car makes a hell of a sucking noise. So many people think it's supercharged when I roll by. It's worth it to do the mod.

You shouldn't have an issue. I have mine sealed with no baffles and have gone through some pretty bad thunderstorms. Filter gets a bit wet but no moisture gets through. You may want to go with an oiled filter if you do it though.

I think your original question was something along the line of the pic below? When I had the FTRA I made this block off plate from stainless, polished it, and it riveted in from the inside.
I have since switched to the Volant CAI with a debaffled hood and made custom ducts to force the air directly from the hood nostrils to the sealed Volant box.
