Dyno doesn't show throttle response. It is clear it is far superior to the stock intake in this regard. In the end, at least for me, I have the intake that is right for me. I still love it as much as the day I got it.

Not sure if there is an easy way of removing the banner, but if there is Steve or Patrick will know. Just give them a call. Customer support is awesome.

Speaking of Steve or Patrick, have you shared your results with them? Did they have any recommendations/ideas why you were running so rich?

I was only driving about 20 miles now. I think throttle response is better.

Tomorrow I'll have more time to drive

Cool cant wait for an update.

BTW you quoted Nomads question to me earlier. I've tried calling them a few times today and keep getting voice mail. It's Friday so maybe they leave early.

Indeed- Did the high flow cats throw any O2 sensors? I'm not interested in tuning my car anytime soon either!

No codes, thanks to the SOLO supplied extenders.

I tried to call VR a couple more times with no success. I'll try again on Monday.

We installed our Vararam Monday. Love it! Fired it up and followed the learning procedures and have had no problems. Ran smooth out-of-the-box. Not sure what the "official" dyno numbers are, but as Mimi said Tuesday: "Butt dyno approved". Definately an improvement and we are happy with it. Thanks Maryland Speed.

That is AWESOME!! It is truly a great product. I am SO glad I waited for the GM intake that never came out. At least it allowed me to find this little gem of a Vararam.

Its allways hard to say is it only impression or is it real. But i say it definately adds some. responses better when accelerating

Don't know sound wise since the exhaust is loud enough...

On a side note: it was funny installing it since i had to do it outside. Temperature was around 0°C and surely the peoples walking by thought this guy must be crazeeeeeeee...

What you are feeling is real. I have a funny feeling that there was something else going on in the dyno I posted. BUT if you compare the torque values at the 2000 to 2500 range where the run started, you see what people are feeling.

The VR is easy to install, but not sure about at 0/32 degrees though.
