Default Vararam Intake

Found it new for 350, should I go for it? I dont expect it to be much cheaper, I may pull the trigger. Any opinions?

Every once and a while you'll see it for $325. Call Exit 28. I got mine there about two months ago and I'm pretty sure they were offering it for $325 to all forum members along with free shipping. Really nice guys there too! Good luck.

Hey Steve, haven't been posting much lately - working my tail off.

As for the original question, RG rocks, give him a call - and make sure you get the race filter AND the every-day filter.

Les, Welcome back!! Try not to work so much. Hey, I got the Vararam a couple months ago. Still sitting in my garage because I've been working my tail off too!! :mad Anyway, this is the first time that I've heard about the "race" filter. What is that? If I don't go to the track, should I be getting that anyway? Thanks.

Just started a new job up in the DC area, commuting and travel takes much of my time, but I do look in here from time to time.

Patrick makes two filters for the Vararam. The "race" unit should be track only, very thin, doesn't trap small dirt which can be a bad thing if used for extended periods. He has another unit that some call a K&N (but I don't believe it is) which is much thicker and recommended for street use. Personally I run the thick unit on the street and road racing, and use the thin one for drag racing only.

Talk to RG, or better yet Patrick at Vararam - heck of a nice guy - tell him I said hello.

Buy the actuall K&N filter for it....I had a nice buildup of geasey dirt on my throttle body after about 8k miles with the original foam filter.

The part number is 33-2522
