Vararam?
Hey Guys!
Many of you provided great advice about which exhaust to get on my 07. I received delivery 3 weeks ago of my car and installed the Bullets/prt system 3 days ago. Love it! Now I need advice on intake systems. I'm thinking vararam since I have seen it mentioned repeatedly on this forum. Is this the best? Will I gain some HP with it (remember my previous threads... mostly ignorant about mods, but learning fast).
Thanks

the only item i may add would be a 'racemesh screen', just to help keep leaves, paper, etc. out of the scoop.

I've recently added a VaraRam and throttle body spacer. Woke the car up. Noticeable power increase by the SOTP method.
Did you notice a difference in your MPG..did it get better, worse, or stay the same?

Here is a link to my install write-up:

This was installed on my friends car and it really woke the car up! Also, it sounds awesome when it sucks the air in. He has had many people ask him if the car had a turbo on it!

I keep seeing people saying that it would help to have a lift to install the Vararam. Is this just necessary for swapping the precut shroud? I installed the Vararam without a lift(even though I have one) and can't see any reason that a lift would help.
