Default vararam or Halltech Trap?

I have a Z06, cant decide between the vararam or the Halltech trap!

The only reason I am considering the Trap is because brings the red Air Bridge to match the fuel rail covers that looks good!

Which one do you guys like better, or is there another ram air with equal performance of these two?

Had a vararam and all it rammed was dirt into my intake.
My throttle body was coasted with road dirt.
I talked to pat, the owner of vararam and he sent me
2 new filters but they didnt help.Since i have gone back to
bpp vortex ram air and havent looked back.I have been looking
at the trap more and more now and i think its a awesome looking
setup,esp with the tunnel port.

I've got a Haltech Stinger on my 04. It was a pretty easy install, good quality and decent throttle response.

I've got the Vararam and I like it. With the TRAP, you're paying for an air bridge and coupler which sell for about $150 online. So you're really paying about the same for the actual intake.

I agree with 6.0vette I once got caught in a small rain storm with the vararam I had the only time I ever had the car in the rain and you could have washed the car with the amount of water that was in the filter. Check out the Raptor XXL I just got one and I love it big improvment over the Vararam and the price was great.
