Injen vs. Vararam

So I have had an Injen long tube cai for about 2 years and I love it. But I know everyone who has a vararam really speaks highly of it. Would I notice a difference in power if I switched from the already good Injen to the Vararam?

I went from Vararam to the Injen. The only thing that I noticed was that 3rd doesn't pull as hard as it did with the Vararam. Other than that, it's the same IMHO.

Thanks for the heads up. Just curious, what made you go from Vararam to Injen?

I have the Injen Long tube CAI and love it. But I have heard the Vararam is a good CAI as well.

Honestly, I was not satisfied with the initial build quality and fitment issues when the Vararam was first released. It just felt like the initial R&D could have been better rather than releasing it to the public and then making adjustments after feedback from everyone that bought one.

IMHO it is a good product, but it wasn't the best product for me or my car. I was happy with my Injen. Now I have to decide which intake to go with for my LS3.

I wouldn't think the difference would be worth the extra money IMHO.
