Honker or Snake Charmer?
I've "narrowed" my choices down to either the Callaway Honker or the Vararam. What are the pros and the cons to these two and for those who had the same decision, which one did you decide on and why? Thanks.

I went with the Callaway. Proven track record and a lot of engineering went into the design. Vararam has had various quality issues at least since I've been here and that kinda drove me away...

I have to agree with Tony B4
After spending almost 4 months reading about all the different intakes in this forum, I finally went with the Vararam. I noticed a difference right away in acceleration(of course, it's only SOTP... no dyno sheets to prove it, yet). I got the later units, seems to be very well engineered and put together nicely.

Negative. No problems here. Just don`t try to drive through water thats more than say 6 inches deep at speed in any low car and even some minivans. I`ve seen totally stock cars drive through water, accellerate to get out and injest water due to the wake action and creating a vacuum in the intake....
