Has anyone else experienced vibration from the gas pedal at WOT, everything else is fine though the car hauls now and the sound is amazing. I have about 2000 miles on the VR and its still doing it. Is this normal?

I do not experience this, all I have noticed is the insane engine roar and the performance boost. I don't think your gas pedal issue is related, it may just be coincidental.

No issues here either. Had the Vararam about a month now.

Installing an intake system is not going to have any connection to a vibration in the gas pedal.

The sound of the intake seems to match the vibration perfectly, its tough to explain, and it started the first time I floored it after the install.

After giving it some thought though, I think it might just be my install. I saw it recommended somewhere to put the red thing on the intake first to make it easier to install, so I pretty much pushed it on the intake as hard as I could to the point that it stretched out on the wider part towards the maf sensor and when I put it on the throttle body I could still see a little bit of the shiny throttle body. So I will try it the way the directions say (opposite way) and tighten the band clamps up better and see what happens.
As for the vibrating could my terrible throttle body install connection cause the intake to shake around and be most noticeable through the pedal?

Thanks for the responses guys, I'm almost certain its something I did now and for anyone considering Vararam, this is a very minor and most likely isolated issue due to my first install ever and I must point out how insanely fun this thing is, the first time I took it up to about 2200 rpms I literally busted out laughing I was so happy, not only because of the quickness but the sound completely caught me off guard, its a great sound that must be heard to believe and it only gets better (The rear comes around on a hard turn now

) so don't let this deter you. I think I can fix it.
