Thanks for posting the details of why this one is different than other spacers out there.
For those that want to knock it, that's fine. I know where you are coming from on your way of thinking. Like other companies, Vararam invests R&D time into products that don't pan out and kills those long before they ever reach the market. Ask yourself why they would bother releasing something that showed no gains while still backing it up with a performance warranty?
Here are the pictures I promised of it installed with the VR intake. I have a different colored connecting hose (same material though as the one that ships with the intake) that is a bit longer than the original hose. You can see that it is notched around the MAF block but other than that it's the same as what came in the box.
