Default Finally....installed a Vararam B2 intake

All I have to say is what a pain in the *** that install was. Thank god I don't have to do that again. You can actually hear the air being sucked into the intake and it does feel stronger when passing cars. I can't wait to take it to the track after a tune.

Looks nice. Just installed mine a couple weeks ago and it was a pain. Went ahead and replaced that acordian coupler also. I guess it all adds up. And it looks much better.

Nice color! Let us know what the car runs at the track. How much did you pay for the system?

Default Install

I feel your pain, Vararam is a tough install, because a lot of work is done blindly.

Definitely. Half of the install is too hard to get to/can't see what you're doing. My forearms look like I tried committing suicide with a dull better knife...it sucked.
