What both above said!!!

I am about to make a switch and try out a different intake, and am split between the two above.....

The Vararam makes the most power, but the TRAP from Halltech in Carbon Fiber is just so DAMN sexy!

Whatever will I do?
If you do decide to go with the best (Vararam) please feel free to do business with our forum vendors.
RG is a GREAT guy, and has the absolute best prices around when it comes to the VR... These kits usually start at $469, and they are worth every penny even at that price!

Good luck in your search, and remember, Exit-28 is the place to get your VR!

I installed the Vararam last month and didn't dyno before or after. To me if you can't feel the difference then it wasn't worth the money spent.

There was an obvious difference with the Vararam and she howls with that extra air. One thing I did not like was the cheesy design of the filter. Seems like the fix for this as far as the members here are concerned is to order the K&N filter # 33-2522 and super-glue a little extra foam around the circumference of this filter to add extra sealing.

Teddy,

You've been holding out on me - no wonder you have waited on getting a tune

PS: Vararam rules in my book, on the track for sure
