I must have missed it, but why doesn't this fit a 2010?

The fill neck for the radiator was moved to the passenger side a couple inches in 2012. So now it doesn't fit in the middle of the tube to the throttle body.

No one has any explanation why.
Must be a a conspiracy against the Best Intake for the Camaro from GM towards Vararam.

See in the pic how the cap would hit after being moved.

And now the new design that is supposed to make a little more HP. Even though I likes the original design and how it cleaned up the engine bay. But I had to go with what fit.

I've had mine since September. Actually got it from them about two weeks before they started selling them. Here's the post with more information.

I swapped to this intake from a rotofab and no real gain was seen on dyno. To each his/her own

I think the ram integrated ram air and whole design is ahead of other CAI, but gains arent going to be huge or anything like that.

I received my VR-DRX (got a it for low 300$ new ) and waiting on my rod modded IM& ported TB now. I hope for 2-3mph increase on the 1/4. Fingers crossed.

While it is a 'proven mod', the rod mod isnt supposed to show much hp on the dyno, but rather at the track. Hard to tell which mod did how much hp...

Cheapest I can find. Talked to a few vendors and they cant/won't match the price. If your looking for one and find a better price let me know.

Call and talk to Patrick at Vararam. I got mine with a wedge that normally is ~$70-100 and shipped for both was less than $400.
