Not sure I like the rubber mat the plastic sits on, kinda funky looking...does it rub on the radiator?
Just out of curiosity where does it get the air from? is the air going over the AC condenser? Or is it coming in from the front slat? it too bad they didnt come up with a cowl induction setup...that would be cool.... |

The air comes from behind the grille and over the condensor and radiator as you stated. Doesn't cowl induction come from air swirling down the windshield and into the hood? Even using the full length of the cowl, with a MAF sensor involved, not sure if air could make that tight of a bend, be consistantly/accurately metered, and get to the forward facing TB. But that is an uneducated thought on my part.

The rubber mat is barely seen once the Vararam goes on top of it. It's designed to be a heat barrier between the radiator and the intake to minimize heat soak especially in static situations (at stoplights or while staging at the track). I suppose you could leave this off if it bothered you that much, though I wouldn't recommend it.
The front of the intake has a collector, a big scoop, that sits over - and in front of - the radiator and collects air from the front grill. Look at the photo below. the entire front (left side) is the scoop that sits in front of the radiator

I just received another new VR and installed it last night. Yes, once you've done the Vararam intake the others, so far, just don't do it for me. Anway I was impressed to see that VR has stepped up the quality on their intake. Time will tell if it seals well enough, but the PCV barbed fitting is now a black poly material. And yes I trimmed off 3 (meant to only do 2) barbs off of the end inside of the coupler just like I've done with all of the brass ones. What I like about this new fitting is that the area where the coupler sits actually seems to be the proper size. For now I like it.
The other thing they have done is dealt with the MAF sensor mounting area. In the past that opening would almost look like it was cut open with a hot knife by hand. Sometimes it would take a bit of clean up on the end users part before the sensor would fit. So now there is a very clean opening cut and a separate mount with brass screw inserts. This piece is epoxied into place over the cutout. Very nice work on VR's part Oh and I like the new black MAF screws as well. Sorry I only have a couple of crappy pictures of the MAF mounting area. The pictures don't show up as cleanly as the actual product, but this may give you some idea of what I'm talking about. I can't wait until VR super wedge comes out.
