Default another C5 cold -air intake question

Newby here! had my 02' C5 M6 for about 6 months now and am thoroughly enjoying it! only mod has been zip-tie with k&n but was wondering if I will get a noticeable improvement with the Vararam over my zip-tie mod? Also,does the Vararam connect up to the fog light housings? Sounds like a pain to install but worth the time and $.Thanks.

You will feel a better response, the stock fog light black plastic housings get removed when the Vararam gets installed, from the outside of the car you wont even notice it much.

Yes, it can be a pain to install - 2 to 3 hr job, depending on your skill level.

I paid my local speed shop $100.00 to install, worth every penny.

I bought mine on Ebay - new, saved some cash.

I've read some good posts on the Gallaway Honker but I went with a VaraRam and am very pleased with the performance results. Much more HP and torque, especially in the 40 to 90 dash. I actually lose traction in the 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th shifts in my automatic. Installation is a bitch but worth it. Check out http://www.cajundude.com/vararam.htm for complete installation guide with pics. You need to ramp or jack stand the front end.
