I know it makes a big difference. with the regular set up lid k& nshit like that it flowed nice. and air fuel was perfect. Put this box ox on and my car went way lean. Now I know what you are thinking, the mass air show stop this but the lower part of the box is different and changes the flow into the mass air. (maybe not hitting the sensors or something just rite) so we did some tuneing and I made more power not all was cause the box some just tuning anyway but i knoiw it does help.
the box is the last pic, and it seals to the hood the hood has a cut out and you can stike you hand in it and see it through the grills in the front

Didn't the WS6 cars also have different exhaust? That would also help explain the difference in power ratings from the factory. Sorry - I should know this but my factory exhaust was not on my car for more than 2 weeks 
Performance wise there is very little difference.
Performance wise there is very little difference. WIDE band on a dyno.... REDNECK Z
no Placebo effect..never said I could "feel it". Dyno showed it
lets face it people saying they felt 5-15hp is bull ****
15 rwhp on a 300rwhp is only 5% difference.
3.5% if 10.5 wrhp or
1.5% == 4.5wrhp.
on my car 400 rwhp 8 rwhp=== 2% change there is know way you can "feel it"

The "ram air" it not to account for the lean conditon.
The lower air box IS. ON A DYNO did a pull with regular intake, lid, ext... good air fuel.
never taking car off dyno swap lower air box to the one I am talking about........................and very very lean. the way the lower air box flows the air to the mass air flow metter is different and we had to make up for this in the tunning.
