Default Vararam is Installed!!

Way cool! Not hard to install great first project if you have not work on your car before. I noticed a SOTP difference. Very happy! I guess I will tackle headers next. I'm not sure I will do my CAM myself. I will have to take it and get in tuned anyway.

get the headers, you will love them

with my mods (see sig), i noticed a HUGE SOTP, on the highway especially

vararam works awesome

p.s.- a cam is next on my list........have you been looking around for one? or are you going with heads also? i havn't began shopping for one yet, but i want to see if i can get a ballpark estimate of how much it will cost (+ labor, i can't do it myself) to get a mild daily driven Cam including all the miscellaneous parts i will need to accomodate the Cam

I have had mine for almost two years with no problems what so ever. I did upgrade to a K&N filter too.

That's good to know. I think I will look into the K&N filter for mine as well.

I did for some time too. And then I started reading negative comments here about the supplied VR filter, and that everyone was switching to the K&N.
