Hi folks, I have an opportunity to pick up a used Vararam B2. When researching intakes it appears that some models are year specific, that does not seem to be the case wit the Vararam. I have a 2000, just want to confirm before purchase. Does anyone know if the intake is year specific?

Second question for those who have installed the B2, did you find it necessary to get the car tuned for the increased airflow?

Thanks in advance.

The Vararam B2 should fit all C5's. I have the Vararam and a tune is not necessary. I followed their break in instructions which you can find here:http://www.vararam.com/b2.html
IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE!!!!
Once completed and all is back together, start your car and let idle for 2 minutes, then simple
drive the car normally. It will take about 45-60miles of driving of normal driving at 50-60 MPH to
adjust to the new airflow (some cars may take longer) if you install at a drag strip, it will take at least
4 passes for your car to adjust under performance load. Remember to check and reconnect all factory
sensor connections and using your factory air box grommet, reinstall smog pump hose to the new air
box.
