Just installed my vararam!!
well guys i just finsihed installing my vararam intake. fit in great, took me about 3 hours becuase my box cutter knife kept breaking for cuting the shroud lol but i have several questions.my biggest question, i never got that red coupler thing, it was never delivered in my setup. however the tabs fit right in the hole anyway and no matter how hard i moved and jiggled it, it did not move so i am assuming i am safe, am i?my second question is about the break in period, do i really have to wait 100 miles? lastly wtf was that sealant looking thing that came with it, it did not look like it fit anywhere, where did was it supposed to? otherwise besides the random missing stuff and lack of bracket, i believe it came together very nicely in my opinion

I've read many guys putting many passes on these rear ends but my luck is I won't get out soon enough and smoke it. I've busted a lot of dumb stuff over the years. Have you ever heard of someone breaking a driveshaft on a motorcycle?
