Vr b2 and powerduct installed!
Just finished installing the vr b2 and powerduct on my 99 FRC, and i must say it was a PITA! I ended up having to notch out a small piece of my radiator shroud for the powerduct to fit, since the motor sits further forward than most newer c5's. After all the fitment issues i really hope i get some added response. Ill have to wait and see, lg long tubes arriving tomorrow! I'd post pics but unfortunately i only have my phone for an internet source. Thanks to everyone on the forum for the advice, its been an amazing reference!

I still don't get why so many think is so hard or have trouble installing the VARARAM!
Believe me there are way harder things to install
You will love it and couple it with the LT's and a tune you will be set!
Thanks,Matt

It was a pain for me because shroud was a PITA to remove. Then the "tubes" had to be contorted to fit in the position is was supposed to be in. Reinstalling the shroud was a pain because the vararam tubes want to press in towards the condensor. Then clamping that thing down with that much pressure against the shroud...... AAARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone im eager to hear and feel the improvements. Anyone have suggestions on a tune? Sct, mail order, dyno?? Also, i will clarify.. The vr-b2 was pretty simple and straightforward. It was the powerduct that required a little more effort..
