Vararam, hands down better performance than K&N.

It's a true CAI.

Do a search on the subject.

Vararam

One of the best seat of the pants mods I've done.

These are the only pics I have of mine, I also have a Carbon Fiber Air Bridge w/ silcone coupler:

Vararam has proven to be one of the best performing, but definitely not best designed intakes.

Its users swear by it. I personally used a Vortex before I got a blower because the quality was better and install was very quick and clean, spent $100 less even with buying a second radiator shroud that was pre-cut.

Default K&N for VaraRam

Anyone know the K&N part # for the VaraRam? I'm about a week away from doing my VaraRam install and don't really like the filter that came with it.
