Agree. I had a Vararam and went back to stock. It added no seat-of-the-pants power and the filter sealing was poor.

Search the forum for "stock filter mod". You can open the stock box. Keep in mind less restrictive means only at speeds you probably won't drive your car, anyway.

For the LS2, which is what you have, the Vararam is the best bang for the buck. Mine has already been tuned and I noticed added crispness in the throttle response after adding the Vararam. For the LS3, stock is best, especially if the mod is done by propping to allow access to outside air.

Smart Man!

Click here for some helpful information....

The VARARAM is the BEST intake out there and you'll find the Chuck CoW TUNE & CoW BOOSTER! Package is

impossible to beat.

Call any time if you have questions. 914-332-0049

Thank you.
