Well, I have had my vararam for a few days now.
From day one when I read the instructions that mentioned doing a pressure test I had to chuckle. There is no way this thing will seal completely. It does not fit together that good.
So, I decided to seal mine. I got some black automotive silicone from the hardware store and used a baby wipes box for the extra plastic that I needed.
First, I sealed the V piece that hold the two ram together. I did this just like caulking a bathroom. Second, I seal the rams on the outer edge where the two halves of each rams are glued together from the factory. If you look close, by the clamps that hold the filter housing in place, you will see a gap where the two halves of each ram did not match up will from the factory.
Third, when you use the V piece to connect the ram you will notice an one inch gap in the ridge that holds the filter in place. This is where I used the plastic from the baby wipes box. I cut it to fill the gap where the two rams comes together. I used the silicone to glue and seal the plastic piece in place.
I have no dyno numbers, but STOP said difference at top speed. Fourth gear seems to pull well.
Well that's it. Still looking at headers. Not sure which to get. I think I am leaning towards the SuperMaxx.
Take Care,
