ram air for 96 3.8

[96greenmachine]

i was told that u can take the ram air kit off a trans am and put it on the v6 cars as long it was the same year model is this true? and also if i could do that could i get it w/out the ram air hood? cuz i got the stock hood and im wondering if it would fit under it or am i forced to wait till i got the hood?

You'll need the hood to make it functional.

Basically, with a stock hood, our only option is This.

Puttting ram air on a 96 is NOT a "bolt-on". You'll need the ram air box with filter, ram air hood, and a custom built method to connect the air box to the TB. This is NOT a cheap mod.

Probably not, because the ramair hood has an area under it where the filter fits. The stock hoods don't have that cutout.
Do you have any pics of what you're buying?
