Vararam installation question
Hello everyone,
I am thinking of stepping up to the plate and purchasing a vararam intake. I am just curious as to whether or not I can do the installation. Everyone says it can take 4 hours, but I just mainly want to make sure I have the right tools to do the job. Do I need to have ramps to raise the front end of the car? I think I remember where someone had a link to a site that gave good instructions on how to do the installation (I guess the instructions that come from vararam are not too good). I tried to do a search and find the link, but couldn't. Anyone still have that? Anyway, thanks for the help!

I did raise mine up on jacks and I took off the front wheels so I could see better and just to have more room. I had help from a real mechanic and he is very good with detail so I had a nice install.
I don't think I could have done it alone and lined things up as nice as he did. But like I said I am not very mechanically inclined.
