    The ram air box is raised about an inch or so to line up with the ws6 or ss hood. The standard one is not.

    See how the base is raised? That is to line up with the ws6 and ss hood scoops.

    Yes the lids are exactly the same, so you can use the regular non ram air lid or the ram air lid on the car.

    The one inch rise at the bottom of the box is for the ram air flow from the hood.
