I've never been impressed with the build and fitment quality of the Vara-Ram stuff. Everything from them I've seen has always seemed of poor quality IMO.

I'd just stick to the stock airbox and modify it, get you an Airaid MIT and a drop in AFE Pro-Dry S filter and call it a day and save yourself some $$$$, gains should be about the same. But thats just me.

Never used a VaraRam, but from the few friends I have who have installed them on their NNBS they have not liked them.

I have a couple of friends who run K&N and they like them.

I personally use and like Volant for NNBS and I also buy the Volant Ram Air Tube.

The topic of this thread and what is in my sig......it's not rocket science. WOW!
Header wrap and/or exhaust blanket cures the IAT heating up. IAT is in the MAF on the 6.2L.
