Default WS6 hood & Volant CAI

Does annybody have any pics of the Volant CAI on a ws6?
Does it seal with the hood?
Does it use the hood scoops?
Asking this since the BG Ram Air is not made anymore.

I'm betting it is an aftermarket hood i.e. WS6 perhaps?

I guess that works. Take pics when you install them, both after and before the hood. I just wanted to know if the Volant uses the stock hood scoops, proven that they are different from aftermarket.

Im having some issues with a particular company involved in the above post, at the moment(or for the past month and a half) and I am afraid that I am going to have to refrain from comment or posting for another week or so. I will EVENTUALLY get this **** resolved... You WILL know one way or the other. Thanks.
