Vararam air intake
Hey guys just wanted to know your opinion on the vararam intake system. I’m looking for the best bang for my buck not sure on which intake system to get. I have a c5 with just the b&b cat back and drag radials I’m going to do a few other mods in the future but nothing to crazy. Your input would be appreciated thanks

Never heard of it, must be new - especially if your search didn't turn up thousands of posts on the topic. Let us know what you think!

I went through the same thing you are when it came time for a C.A.I. After doing a lot of research on the forum and talking with my tuner I chose the Vararam and I love it. Best bang for the buck C.A.I in my opinion

It's an awesome system and much better now than when they were using the foam filter. I had the old system and it got dirty fast and would end up giving me less air than stock. I got the regular K&N style filter as soon as they released them. You still have to make sure it's clean more than usual especially if you daily drive your car, but they give you results. Only reason why I got rid of mine was because I needed something larger for a bigger motor, or I would still be running a Vararam.

Do it right the first time and get the Vararam. I bought an aFe CAI on mine when I first got it and 2 years later bought a Vararam. I should have done the Vararam the first time. It took me about an hour to install.
