Default AIR BRIDGE FOR VARARAM

hi to all...
i need to know what air bridge is compatible with the vararam. i ordered the vararam on monday from west coast for $350.00 and from what i've read, the stock air bridge is a fairly restrictive part of the intake system. since the vararam does not come with a different air bridge i was wondering what ones out there will fit the vararam best and give the best "flow". thanks in advance...

MAYBE I MISSPOKE, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE AIR TUBE FROM THE AIRBOX TO THE MAF. IT HAS THE CORVETTE LOGO ON IT. SORRY IF I GOT IT WRONG...

Actually you are talking about the airbridge that runs from the MAF to the TB. The stock airbridge is fine.

I asked the same question when I got my VaraRam. The guy from Exit 28--who seemed very knowledgeable--told me to stay with the stock one. It gives me a lot of confidence when a vendor actually tells you that you don't need to buy anything else. Good luck.

I purchased the inexpensive "carbon-fiber looking" air bridge from Mid America. It has no logos on it at all, much taller inside vs. the stock air bridge, makes a small impression in the hood liner due to it's height. Was a pita to install, had to customize it, cut a couple inches off the length. Also purchased a yellow rubber coupler from Mid America and had to cut it as well to fit. It looks good, but took about 3 hours of tinkering to make it fit correctly. I don't have any pictures of it and my car is apart right now as I'm installing a cam...
