New Vararam Model intake

Just saw this unveiled on Facebook.

http://www.phastekperformance.com/Va...ake-vr-drx.htm

Anyone out there see this yet? I currently have CAI with toto fab scoop and ww relocate.

Do you think this is how a better setup than I have? Wasn't a big fan of the previous version from Vararam.

Let's here your thoughts/reviews!

Previous version?
Vararam is known for the OTR style air intakes. The 2012-2015 have an offset radiator cap so the OTR style 2010/2011 cannot be used. They knew they were missing out on sales so here you go, a Vararam brand air intake for 2012-2015

The most interesting thing about this design is that the washer bottle is incorporated into the intake.

It also appears that it might concentrate the air more if you have a scoop installed.

Wish they would have made an OTR intake for '12-'15

And it only took them 4 years. If I had a 12-15 I'd get a different radiator to run the OTR before getting that unless you just want a standard CAI and like how theirs looks.

Ah gotcha - thanks for clarification. Stayed away from Vararam after some folks nearby gave their feedback.

Guess they were just way late to the party -

Thanks
