Installed mine over a year ago and am very happy. Installs in less than one day, a total bolt-on, could be back to stock in a day. No trouble codes. You can feel a differance right from the start, but thats true with any air intake you would put on, the stock air box is way to restrictive. The fit and finish could be a little better, but I have the older model, they came out with a new one this year and I do not know how much better it is.

You will feel the power at 60mph+.No codes,takes about 50 miles at highway speeds to reprogram.

I have the "latest and greatest" Vararam.....Filter is a little better than the original....I'm still going to use a K&N for street driving and the Vararam filter when its at the strip. There is a little bid more baffeling than original also. Its a good system IMHO.

little burt,

We have seen GREAT results during dyno testing and tuning with the Vararam, especially with their newly redesigned VR-B2.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at: Sales@TheLAPD.com

We recommend the Vararam to anyone that wants street and track performance without sacrificing driveability. No lean codes, no surging, no drawbacks. Just an awesome intake system that works on stock or modified engines.

As mentioned earlier, I would highly recommend using a K & N filter as oppsed to the one Vararam gives you. The V one is a piece of crap.

Install took me about four hours by myself, but definatley worth the effort. I think it is a must have bolt-on system.
