Default Vr-b1 & vr-b2

I called Vararam this morning but i cant get a hold of anybody ill try later on as well... But in the meantime maybe someone here can help me out.

I'm purchasing a vararam for my c5z from a forum member but when I asked if it was vr-b1 or a vr-b2 he wasn't too sure. He has no intention of misleading me and the kit is brand new. He said he purchased it 18 months ago and it was the latest system out. I've tried looking for information on this but have came up with no luck. Can anyone give me some info on how to differ from the two? Anything visual? Thanks

If it has the green washable filter that looks like a K&N then it's good to go.

Gaskets or something else might have changed but I would highly recommend you impliment something yourself to seal the filter to the upper housing since I haven't seen anything from Vararam that does a proper job.

Wow, just got off the phone with Vararam.

If it was purchased new 18 months ago it's definitley a VrB-2.
AFAIK Vararam changed the design and model number around 5 years ago. Hope this helps.
