Default Vararam Question

When the Vararam system is installed, do you keep the original radiator shroud? It looks to me like it will either have to be removed or cut in order to bring the air from the intake point to the MAF. They say "no cutting" on their site.

Also, about how long does it take to install if you have a lift?

Thanks

Check out Step# 12 pic on this page:

http://www.vararam.com/vr1b_install_pics01.html

You can see that the scoops will sit above the stock shroud.

...you should set aside at least 3 hours for the install. It could take a bit longer if you are unfamiliar with that area of the car's assembly.

:cheers:

Vararam told me that the unit would run $199 when I called. How much will it cost later for the snorkel pieces to convrt it to a V1B?
Thanks

:cool:

The shroud has to come out to install the front parts of the Vararam, but it's not cut. Like was said, it takes about 3 hours, a little cussin', but I like the finished result! :seeya
