WS6 airbox fitment problem
WS6 airbox fitment problem OK here's the deal- i bought a Warbird hood from Roger at US Exotics, whom say that he casts the lower hood structure directly from a Pontiac WS6 hood. So I buy me a factory WS6 CAI for the car. Well long story short- the intake is too tall and the hood won't shut. If I take out the filter it will close, but it is tight! So I put some lithium greaseon the gasket to see how it was lining up underneath, thinking maybe it was too far back or otherwise misaligned...it is dead centered- just too tall.
Well I start wondering if the WS6 had a different radiator cover that let it sit lower....or anyone else have this problem. I need to get this worked out by tomorrow at noon or the ole moroso is going back in.
Any suggestions??

does the hood lay down correctly with the rest of the panels? my thoughts are that the hood latch needs to be raised to correctly latch the hood. i do not believe the radiator cover is any different, but im not positive.
Snow dog- yeah I learned that they all have the same cover- but the hood fits perfectly right now...I have gotten a few replies on other boards where the guys had to remove the rubber gaskt on the factory airbox- i may have to do that too- though I don't want to.

I got it to shut the next day- Just took a little pressure. After 2 days of running it, the hood is getting easier to shut. i think it'll be ok afterall. thanks for the advise guys.
