Default A Vararam must read

I received my intake for my 08' Z51 this week and installed Saturday morning. Ran into some issues checked over everything 100s of times even got 2 more people to help and still the kit would not fit. So I sent a PM to Vararam Industries at 11:00 PM Saturday night and get a phone call back 10 min later on a Saturday night from Patrick the most helpful, smart and super nice person. All my problems were due to a screw up from the vendor I purchased from not from the kit itself.

Anyone considering buying a Vararam kit I would say it would be a mistake to buy anything else had it on my C5 and NEVER EVER had 1 single problem after putting 50k miles on it before selling the car.

Never experienced such customer service in my life and the one mistake I made with buying the Vararam was not buying it directly through them.

All I can say is thanks Patrick and the guys at Vararam!! I can now sleep tonight! HAHA

STELLAR performance, competitive pricing and great customer service to boot.
Vararam is the ONLY CAI going on any late model Corvette of mine as well.

I love it, too. And, I'm going to modify it so it WILL fit when I eventually install the Maggie.

Amazing that they trouble-shoot on Saturday night. I also had a problem on install with my 07'Z due to a slight production problem but they helped me and straightened it out.

I've always said that they are the best!!

Patrick walked me through my install step by step, no matter how many times I called. Steve is the best and always has time to talk to you. I still don't see why some think that it's a cheaply made product.
