Default Vararam Installed

Just finished installing the Vararam which wasn't too bad with a couple of beers and few bleeding scratches. Pictures will be posted soon.

One question, the air hose that originally connected to the air box. Do I plug it up, cut it?

Thanks

if the AIR system is still active then it needs to be plugged into the vararam.

Thanks. Don't see any pre-drilled holes for it so I take it I need to make one. Should it be before or after the filter?

JW, VET IT, your pics came in handy. Thanks for the help.

Camjamsdad-- I will let you know how big my smile was once im done. Also installing are headers w/xpipe, cross-drilled rotors and pads and got a mail in tune from ECS.

Will post pics when done.

Thanks for all the support guys.
