Vararam?
Hey all,
I am just about ready to buy an intake, and I like the idea of an OTR due to the claims in the low to mid range, as mine is a DD. My question is for those of you who have a newer model Vararam on your SS. How is the fit and install now? How is the performance? Did you have any issues? I am torn between the New Era, mainly due to the solid look of the install, and the more reasonable Vararam. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Jason

I installed the Vararam about a month ago, no issues installing except I was missing two screws for the maf sensor. No big deal I went into my nut and bolt bin and had two that fit perfectly.
I feel the mounting for it is adequate solid and doesnt move around at all. I have taken it to the drag strip twice now with about 15 runs on it and it didnt move at all. I think you will definatly feel the improvement in the low end feel in traffic and such on the highway. If your on a tighter budget its a better deal. But not the better looking of the two. I wasnt on a tight budget but to me I like the vararam better so thats why I bought it over the New era.

I just installed my VRam and love it, and you will feel the difference smoother ride and not to mention a little more sound from the stock exhaust.
