Default VARAM FOR C-4

I just got an E-mail from Varam. They said they just got the green light for final tooling today for the C-4. They also said the C-4 model works better than the one for the C-5!

I asked them a few days ago if they were developing a C4 model and I just got an email from them saying "These are very much on their way."

I'm ready with my cash too, bring it on. It's great to see a company that uses real engineering analysis and principles to develop products that kick rear. (As opposed to just throwing a duct and filters together). The C5 guys have proven over and over that their claimed performance gains http://www.vararam.com are the real deal.

Just got off the phone with V ram and it sounds like that is the one to get. They say that they are getting rid of the accordian tube and the intake will run much cooler. I ran some vacuum test on my car last week and I was at -1hg. They said with there system that it will be on the positive side and the intake will be much cooler. This is agood new!! My car has ran 4 MPH faster in the 1/4 after I freeze it down with ice for a 1/2 hour. They said that they will be on the market in a couple months.

Other than knowing about what they look like, I'm not that familiar with the C5 model. Living in CA, is this something I could use, or would I get dinged because it doesn't have a CARB number? Also, any speculations as to price on this piece?

I think the C5 ones are ~$600. I have no idea if they have a CARB# or not. Do intact ducts require them?

I specifically asked about 84-89 since that is what I care about. I can't imagine they won't have one (or two) for all of them if they are going through the trouble to make an 84-89 one.

Honestly, I dunno... I am new to the state, so I just assume anything other than a K&N and a cat-back will raise some eyebrows at the smog stations. Although it's not truly an "emissions" component, IMO it's pretty close. It participates in the A/F game which (partly) affects emissions, so I could see it needing a number. Then again, maybe not.

They run around $350 for the C5 Varraram. Best mod for on our C5. I'd like to get rid of my Vortex if this one comes out!
