+1 Remember that also! And my VR was just delivered to my house along with my MRT V1! To bad I ain't home

About the upper brackets, I found this from earlier in the thread.

Thanks,

Is this still the case??

No, this is no longer the case. Changes had to be made during the final rework. A longer bolt for each side is included but you will have to modify your radiator brackets now.

For those of you that prefer to learn by watching rather than reading, here are some videos to help you through the install process. This is also for those that get stuck while following the printed instructions. The clips are pretty much in real time (with a few edits, as needed). Your install time might be shorter because you aren't explaining things as you go.

Hope these help out a bit....

[Tip: Bump the video quality down to 360p to speed up the download time for each part.]

UPDATES:
1. When cutting the radiator brackets, also remove the positioning tab on each bracket. The positioning tab is located just below the bolt hole and goes into an extra hole on the core support. This tab needs to be removed or it will interfere with the installation of the air scoop.

2. The air scoop included in the kit does not include the extra flap shown on the air scoop in the video. The version of the air scoop in the kit is correct and the extra flap was determined to not be necessary and was eliminated as part of the kit. The version of the air scoop shown in the video was a pre-production part and not the same as what was included in the final product.

Part 1 - Removing the stock intake (11:15 min):

Part 2 - Installing the air scoop (9:34 min):

Part 3 - Installing the Vararam intake (7:46 min):

Part 4 - Finishing the install (9:42 min):

Nice walkthrough. I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate you taking the time to do that.

67 GTO · 06-13-2011, 11:24 AM

Nicely done, thanks for the vids.

Can't_C_Me · 06-13-2011, 11:24 AM

Just an FYI for people wanting an extra set of radiator mounts, the p/n is 92236770. If you order from gmpartsdirect you can use the coupon code from this thread (http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127771) and the total comes out to $14.85 for two.

Spencer@EH · 06-13-2011, 11:33 AM

Nice! How many intakes are going to be numbered?

Kmorpheus · 06-13-2011, 11:38 AM

That was great Rolnslo, now all I need is Mr. UPS to drop of the Vararam. I see that its out for delivery so, as soon as It arrives I will be bolting from work to put it on. Thanks again for you work on keeping us informed.

I don't think any retail units will be numbered. His was a prototype, that is why is was numbered.
