Default Vararam Intake installed

Just installed the Vararam B-2 intake from the group purchase. Install only took 2 hours. Fitment was fairly good. Only issue was installing the air dam in front of the radiator since the intake bowed it out some. Really looks nice and sounds much better than the previous Halltech intake sucking in air from the hood area.

Default Relaern

I did a relearn after installing the Halltech, not after this one. I just followed the instructions and let it idle for a few minutes before I drove it. I then did some light stop and go driving to get it acclimated. Everything's fine now, no issues. Really like the intake.

Love mine, with a Gtech I averaged 2-3 tenths and 1.8 MPH faster than with another popular intake.
