vram.

the only things you will need to watch out for with the vram are;

the red coupler, make sure you get a good connection. i saw/helped a gent at the 'skyline' cruise reattach his. the coupler was a tad short and wasn't seated as good as it could, and had come off, leaving an open unfiltered connection. can happen with any intake not just the vram.

leaf/paper/junk ingestion. unless you have a screen over the opening it is very easy to end up with the worlds most expensive hoover. the front of the c6 just loves leaves.

with the vram you won't be able to use some aftermarket front license plate holders.

other than that, , i've been pleased with mine.

Another vote for the vararam. Although I have to admit it is the only CAI I have ever purchased. Had them on two C5's and a C6.
