I recommend vararam because I tried it and I was surprised with the difference.
I can't say it is better than any other CIA because I havn't tried any other brand.

but I am very pleased with it.

My Callaway Honker system looks very close to a stock system. This is important to me because we have emissions inspections and an aftermarket intake with no CARB approval will fail visual inspection. A mechanic at the Jiffy Lube probably can't tell the difference. I am sure that a search of the archives will turn up that all of the CAI on the market are relatively close in performance and price.
