vararam 2009 vette
ok people i have z51 and i had taken out vararm from my 08 vette and try to install it on my 09 z51 vette
after i cut the shroud i saw a little metal radiator looking box on the left side that is connected with metal hose
and i figure that i could not put the lip of my vararam intake ...
what should i do ? do they fit ?

I assume that your 2008 didn't have the Z51 option?
That little oil cooler is part of the Z51 package and I'm not positive but I believe that there is a slightly different bracket included with the Vararams for 'Z51 equipped' LS3s that is specifically for use with that cooler in place.
