Default Intake Question

Long time reader first time poster. Question for the pros. Asking what the prefered CAI and cat back exhaust are. I'm leaning towards the Vararam and Corsa Sport.

get louder. Im doing a cam change soon.They just might be too much
as far as noise. What many are doing is installing a npp system with
remote control. They sound great and you can switch it to "Quiet MODE". Just something to consider.

I have the Corsa Sport dual tips and love them. The Vararam was a poor quality pos. It leaked at the air filter and where it connected to the throttle body. I could have injested a small dog.

I am running BPP's Vortex Ram Air CAI, Kooks Long Tubes with high flow CATS and Corsa Sport Exhaust. The quality of BPP's Vortex CAI is excellant and you will be very happy with the performance gains it offers. The Corsa Sport Exhaust offers a great exhaust note at idle and under acceleration but quiet at cruise. Both are quality products.

Really? I'd think a long time reader would've noticed the daily "Which CAI is best" threads.

I just installed the Vararam with TBS. I've had Corsa Extremes for about 6 weeks now. Added a 160 stat and a tune and I am very satisfied.
