^^ yes ebay and amozon drop ship. they are not in stock. i called several places today with the same answer. out of stock in the us. i tried to order from the uk site for k&n and you cant have them shipped to the us. they show to be in stock in uk though. the filter is made in the uk for thr triumphs

So is the Vararam ok to go with? I just want something that gets better air flow than the K&N and i like the idea of it pulling outside air in like the WS6's do.

I'm not directly involved with the intake altho I designed it. The filter is made in the UK K&N factory and they have been very spotty about supply even though there has been demand. Back when I was hand making the intake I ran into the same problem and every supplier would just have them dropped shipped from K&N so when they were out everybody was out. The last I talked to Spencer at WCS he said that Green Filter was tooling up to make the same filter and once up they could supply on demand. Screw K&N.

OP, you didn't say what year GTO you have., The Vararam is only made for the LS2 goat. Good luck with whatever you go with.

So I called my local autozone just for ***** and giggles and they said he can guarantee me the k&n 33-2522 by the 10th of this month... hmmmm should I???

Think its Legit???

My local Advance said the same thing. Worst thing that could happen is it doesn't come and you get you money back.

I found a filter so I talked to Spencer and told him to send out my intake without the filter. He said it might possibly go out next week sometime

So i took someones idea called autozone they had the filter to me within 1 business day. I spoke to Spencer a few days before told him what was going on he said he would credit me back for the filter i said no,just rush me out the intake a week later i still dont have it!!!! starting to get a bit upset because he said that it was going out that day 4/5/12 which i guess did not happen.

I emailed him this week and he said he wasn't going to ship mine till next week because he is going to be gone Thursday and Friday (yesterday and today). He said the intakes are already made. I would think since they are pretty spendy units he would want to get them to the customers as quickly as possible.

06SpiceRed

^^^^^ Right,if you tell me your gonna send it off that day and have it rushed out thats what im expecting.

Svede it worth the wait, kinda like if you waited till your wedding night

FWIW I have a CF Banshee hood with part of the underside dremeled so the nostrils are functional, you can see the top of the filter through the openings and I've never had any issues in the rain...

^^. I'm running the vararam and have my hood cut out underneath too. You can literally here the air being sucked in the good openings while sitting still. I have iat's in the low numbers because I have plenty of cool air coming in. But here is the problem with this. After about 20 or 25 mph air starts to follow the curve of the hood and no longer enters the scoops creating a low pressure area. Air then only enters through the front bumper grills and the crack where the hoods meets the bumper.

I personally feel the biggest improvement is in the iat sensor that is recommended to upgrade to when purchasing the svede intake. It changes temps quicker and reacts faster. I'd be willing to bet when iat's are compared between the vararam and svede using this sensor there is not any difference that results in performance gains or losses.

I'll post test results if I ever get a svede intake that I ordered over a month ago now. I got my tuner on board to help. We will test in real world and at an 1/8 th mile drag strip.

Well I looked in the autozone website and found the filter this intake requires. I got an email saying it has shipped and will be at my door Friday. Hopefully i will be able to get the intake sent to me without a filter.

^^^Still will take awhile. Ive had my filter for over a week and still no word on shipping status, sent email yesterday asking about it with no response.

06SpiceRed

I did get my intake friday of last week having it installed and dynoed this weekend but i also told Spencer not to credit me back for cost of filter but rush it out to me. Don't know if that made a diffrence

well i got my "impossible to get" filter today 3 days after i ordered it from autozone. not if only i could get ahold of someone at WCS so i can get my intake sent to me without a filter.
