I think most members are gonna say vararam. In fact after reading alot of posts....I did the same. I purchased one used from a forum member for a good price. Thats one nice thing about the for sale/wanted to buy section. You get the chance to try out things for a great price. If you dont like it, put it up for sale and try again. And the best part is the money you save = more mods!

I just did a Vararam/Halltech Hybrid intake installation this morning! I had to trim the Halltech airbridge(slightly) to fit but it looks great(imo) and i could tell the difference. I had the Halltech and just got the VRB2 Vararam. And used the Halltech airbridge because its a monster! Now i have a HUGE airfilter that i don t need anymore....Biggest filter i have ever seen!
