Pontiac GTO 2004-2006 - my Vararam aftermath

well after a lot of pains in my ass and 3 sweat filled shirts this is what I end up with. I went from stock to vararam and love the difference.

its called door edge trim or whatever..picked it up at advance auto..pretty handy

nice i just bought a vararam today and if it looks like this when i am done i will be happy

that looks great. how much of a gain over other CAIs on stockish vehicles does anyone know?

:engarde:THE VR Performance guarantee!
We guarantee that you will get 3 tenths or 3mph through the ¼ mile and or 2 tenths or 2mph “OVER” any other system on the market or we will take the system back and pay shipping both ways!!


:ripped:

Sweet, clean job. Open up those hood scoop plugs to really maximize the effect. You don't need to remove them, just cut out a large square in the front of each plug. That way the plug directs the air to the vararam and no air pushes to the back of the scoop.

That varies. I know over the Volant just about everybody trumps it. On some other it might even lose out :engarde:. Early on a couple of people thought they proved it but they didn't know that on different days things like DA accounted for some change. It's a decent design that's cheap to make but unfortunately the user has to modify it to get it to seal and be insulated. I've never heard of anyone taking up VRs guarantee but I know of quite a few that just sold it and moved on.

Nicely done OP

Do you recall what size/length pipe insulator?

I think I will do this today.

I thought about opening the scoops but I do daily drive this and I don't want any rain or shit to get in there
