I ordered the AirAid tube and drop in, but now I am considering the Vararam. Do you think there would be any performance difference between the two.

The only hesitation that I have on the Vararam is I have heard it is a pretty cheaply made product. I really do not care about the looks, I do not drive with my hood open, but I do not want to pay that kind of money for a something that wil not last or that I will have problems with.

 

Save your money and stick with what you have ordered. Gains from one to the other are definitely not worth the extra cost.

And don't forget the stock airbox mod! I posted pictures of mine on here under my new free mod

 

BS,

I thought about that, the only thing I am worried about is sucking more dust into the box. I drive hundreds of miles on dirt roads hunting and I can tell you the Volant that I had on my AV sucked in alot of dirt.

What are the opinions on this.

I did add the tube and filter and it is not nearly as obnoxious as the full Volant system. I am thinking about wrapping the tube with duct insulation to see it that quiets it down a little more.

 

It's up to you really, you have to weight your options.
If you don't mind cleaning/replacing ur filter every 10k miles, I'd say do it! Otherwise just leave the filter in stock box and drive it that way.
