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?

Oh man. Don't even want to know it should have came with one... Well didn't see one while installing, guess time to pull the drill out.

Does it go 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.
