Default Vararam installed!
Installed the b2 set up today.The fit on this system sucks.The air bridge is the main problem because it will not seat against the shroud in order to install the fastener plugs.The performance differance is very noticeable.I would rate the fit as a 6 and the performance a 10.JER

I know it is not cheap but I bought an aftermarket air bridge without the retainer holes on it. That eliminated that sore spot, it looked a little better with the colored flag decal also. Just a thought for you.
