Not sure which color you ordered but I called them today and he said he just got the black and silver ones from the powder coater today. He said it would probaby be Friday or so before they were ready to ship.

I haven't ordered one yet but I probably will if he gets in a Silver one.

It took about 3 weeks to get it

i think RevXtreme needs to do a litle revision on their bracket and how to mount the can.

i installed mine last night per the instructions and it touches the radiator hose. the only way to keep it from doing that is either angle it not touch, or add a spacer in between the bracket and belt tensioner and using only one bolt to mount the can to the bracket on the very bottom holes. when i bolted the 2 bottom holes on the bracket and can mount together, the middle hole of the catch can mount and upper hole of the bracket did not line up!

also, the outlet on the catch can needs a 90 degree connector like the inlet!

Sounds like my same exact experience. (see above) Although I didnt mention the mounting problem with hitting the radiator hose because I was being nice.

I just drilled another hole so the bracket would line up properly for the mounting hole problem.

And as far as it hitting the radiator hose I just angled it up slightly...it isnt that bad/noticeable. If it would have been much worse I would have sent it back.

Mine didn't hit anywhere...
I have had the throttle body off 2 times since the catch can and there has been quite a bit of oil in the chamber ;( Not sure what's in the catch can though as I haven't drained it yet.

mine hit the bottom radiator hose also, so i cut a piece of 3/8" hose and put it inbetween so it would not rub directly on the bottom hose

good idea, i was thinking about just putting a couple layers of electrical tape on the hose so if it does wear into the rubber, the tape will go first!

Will it work with my Vararam unit?

of course...and even better you can mount the catch can over on the other side in the big space left by the stock airbox.

Mine took 4 weeks, came with wrong bracket powder coated black to match can, got the correct angle bracket (came unfinished) and it hit the radiator hose too. Not to mention I ordered the one for the Maggie setup and it hits the intercooler pump which is mounted in the stock location. :( Yes annoying...
