Guess we need to know if the poster is asking about an air filter set up,,,OR if he is actually talking about an intake plenum/runner system like the FAST of LS6 intakes!! Seems to be different interpretations going here!! He needs to clarify!! From his Vara Ram comment,,it sounds like CIA/filter system!!

Personally i dont think Vararam looks bad at all. The only thing you really see is the box with the big *** "VR" on it. It outperforms the rest and is cheaper. I dont see the argument Some of you guys are being rediculous about the looks. Go buy a benz if wanna look at it all day. The only thing i advise my friends about is deep water puddles.

LOL They would have to drive off in a river to have any efffect on the Vararam! I have seen a few Vararams that looked like they were installed by a pair of monkeys and looked bad.Taken some time and just a bit of skill they look just fine as most all of it is hidden away anyway!

Vararam.
Went from stock to Haltech (good upgrade)
Haltech to Blackwing (better)
Blackwing to Vararam (even better)

Not claiming it the best but is darn for the price. Not sure why it is getting knock for the quality or fit. I think it looks good..see JW's pic and mine fits well.
