Default Installed Vararam today
Again, at normal speed no noticeable difference. But at 60mph I trounced it and it was incredible! Very impressive. Had my local tire store install it. 75 minute install, $50.

Excellent - I always loved my VARARAM but I graduated to Forced Induction instead!

Best CAI IMHO!

Thanks,Matt
