i got the slp one....i didnt see a big diff in track time but i didnt have a lid when i did it so it kinda defeated the purpose. still looking for a lid if someone wants to sell me one hahaha

stock i went 13.6@105
did 13.5@106 w/ LM, CAI,and smooth bellows (w/out the lid, i think the cai was kinda pointless)

^^if you add the bottom part of the SSRA to your SLP CAI then it WILL NOT be pointless....

Yeah, I think it can be done, but I would rather just buy it from somewhere to ensure perfect fit...

Al Austin, aka ss1le02, was selling it last year for $129. It's basically the SSRA without the scoop. I'm assuming that the regular SSRA will get you even more gains since it has the scoop, but I didn't go for it since the scoop will increase the chance of hydro-lock and will be damaged if I accidentally park over a curb.

I think it happens when water gets inside the engine and damages it.

The BGRA is probably the best ram air system for the WS6, but I dont think its compatible for the SS. Speed inc. doesnt sell the system anymore, just the rain blocker option and 2 other things. If your able to find one, then Id say pick it up, but Ive been looking for awhile and havnt had any luck.

The system itself is no longer manufactured or sold, only parts such as the rain blocker option, nostril corner option, and replacement gasket.
