Default Vararam VR-B2 Install Help?

I'm installing a Vararam VR-B2 and I'm a little confused, the instructions told me to remove the shroud, but on the forum everyone is talking about having to cut their shroud.

Does the shroud get reinstalled? after the ducts are installed?

Anyone have a How to thread on this?

Thanks,

Rob

Cutting the shroud is for a different intake, not Vararam.

You need to remove the shroud to fit the ducts, then re-install it.

Cajundude install directions are great..
For a better fit you may choose not to use the spacers...

It's finally on!!!!

Looks great! Cajundude needs to write their directions.

Thanks guys, Cool Mod PITA to install but worth it!

Had a little trouble getting the Carbon fiber air bridge and MAF sensor all lined up and connected, but it's done now.

On to the next Mod....
