I had a Vararam but now have a LPE. Had to switch when I got the Maggie. The Vararam won't work with the Maggie. Fit and finish of the LPE are far better than the Maggie or Callaway.

If you are talking strictly performance then its probably the Vararam. But build quality and fit suffer mightily.
If you are looking at all of the tangibles, performance, build quality, fit, underhood appearance, ease of install, price, dependability of airbox seal and hence filtering effectiveness, the Vararam is not such a clear cut winner. in my view.

Correct amigo.
Check this one out, and check the price too!:
(other pricing specials are in the works).
Install video also available on the site.
AND it will work with your Maggie or Procharger blower!

They didn't say what others they had evaluated. I think it's continued on the next episode this week. I would have liked to see more. Dyno numbers etc.

I chose the Honker and since it was on back order ended up getting the Xcelerator that looks just like the Honker. I was ready to pull the trigger on the LPE, but then I read that changing the filter was a 2 person job. Removing and cleaning the filter on the Honker or Xcelerator is very easy.

Man, I'm in a big crisis. In the box, in my garage, sits my brand new Vararam, Spacer, and even the precut shroud, now. And I'm really intiminated (really, I'm scared).
I want it on so bad, but don't really feel confident to install it myself. And don't really know or trust a shop to do it. Seen the instructions from the magazine article on "V"'s site, etc. But, it only tells me that I might be a little over my head. What I really want is Steve or Shawn to come do it, or, at least send someone. Only takes the guys who do this day in and day out, about 45 minutes.
Having sent out the cry for help, the general consensus is, you can't beat it.
