what an endeavor
Just installed my VaraRam today. what a pain in the ***. Haven't really driven it hard yet, still giving the PCM time to calibrate itself. I'm definitly gonna have to pick me up some Z06 screens though to conceal the intake
...really though. It was a pain

OP,
You are gonna love the VR! We all know it is a piece of **** construction wise and yes, it is tough to install, but, It performs as advertised! I will not take mine off until I go FI!

I did the install as a winter project 4 years ago. I Spent a snowy Sunday morning bonding with my beauty and gave her a bigger set of lungs. The Vararam, Borla's , AR Headers, and ECS tune really woke her up.
44K (s)miles later and it is still great.

Have heard it is a PITA to install, but the results speak for themselves. Congrats on getting the system installed.
