vararam 1le compatible?
So I just bought a used vararam off the classified area of this site from an SS owner, do any other 1le owner have a vararam installed? likes/dislikes? Any problems with the install?

Maybe it would fit if you changed your radiator.

It will fit, but the radiator has to be adjusted and will permanatelly lean...not an easy mod

Yes that is correct. Im still waiting on my vararam for my 2012 convert SS.They told me in DEC than it should be availiable first of the year? So I installed a K&N series 63 for now. I couldnt wait any longer.

2013 moved the radiator cap, it will not fit. Also Vararam did not make an over the radiator for a 2013+ since they said the MAF's are to sensitive now and will stall the car with ram effect air being pushed in.

The only way to run a Vararam in a 2012+ 5th gen is to swap in a 2010-2011 Rad.

Like the others wrote, the one you have now will not fit at all. |

I called Vararam about a week ago. They said 2012-2014 will be available beginning or middle of March.
