Roto fab or Vararam

[Silverlsinva]

Ok im gonna buy an intake on monday or tuesday i I just want opinions and advice on people that has these or has had both. I like the look and ease of install on the Roto fab and it has a dry filter. Vararam Better performance but hard to install it seems and gotta cut ur brackets. Any comment is fine.

Both are fantastic. Only main reason I had to choose roto-fab over the vararam is that I wanted the dry air filter. I will never touch a oil based filter as seeing what it does to the engine over the life span of the car. (I've seen dirtied engines resulting from oil based filters). I know everyone has there own opinions and beliefs, this was my only issue. Also should note that the Roto-fab can be upgraded to surpass the Injen longtube if you get the air duct module upgrade... a fantastic addition to the roto-fab and most owners have noticed 5-10hp gains on the highway ontop of the 12-15hp of the roto-fab itself.

With that said, I got my roto-fab with dry last night. It just got painted, will be installing on Monday.

Most of the faster 5th Gens are running Vararam. I've had them on two cars and I drove my first Vararam equipped car again this summer (2002 Vette) and it ripped just as it did the day I installed the Vararam with over 60K miles. The Vararam alone reduced ETs in the quarter on this car by .456 seconds....no lie, absolute fact deduced by before and after three run averages. As a matter of fact, Vararam has a guarantee on ET improvement number and if you don't achieve that, return it and they will refund money and pay the shipping. Just curious how anyone would know that the oiled filters were causing any kind of engine problems....K&N has been using them for years and years and they're still probably the number one performance filter manufacturer....millions of cars and purchasers can't be wrong. When I installed the Vararam on my car, I didn't have to cut anything...not sure what that's all about. That must be a V6 specific requirement????

you only have to cut the brackets for the v6 its an awesome intake you cant go wrong with either one

Humm two installations of Vararam and both are still working just fine. I do believe Vararam now includes the brackets already cut. I for one enjoy my intake and the customer service from Vararam is EXCELLENT!!!

Nope. You have to ask for them and they are extra.
