Vararam installed

[bignaz]

Just finished it. First off it was not all that easy but not all that bad. But the intake is loud and the vids online do not do it justice. Has a pretty deep tone and during acceleration it sounds not only bad ass but like its got some power. Great intake. I'll report back on performance and all that soon as the weather gets better here.

But if you are thinking about getting one you will not be disappointed.

got one love it, you will love it makes the car sound more aggressive.
It will increase the noise factor.

Tomorrow im going to check my gap. Sould be ok but it was getting dark. Then check the connection before i leave for work and when i get there. Make sure it hasten moved.

The shorty headers will give you less power overall than the Vararam in my opinion, but you should still pick up some nice low and midrange torque with them which would pair well with the VR intake since I think it has more midrange and top end power.

One thing is for sure...DT shorty headers combined with the Vararam and a decent exhaust would sound amazing!

Deff. feel the power. Highway pulls are noticbly stronger. No 0-60 times yet but should be a bit better. All and all great intake highly recamended.

Grats on the headders.


Update the ram air does in fact work. Despite what Apex has said in the air intake writeup where they said it simply does not. I just don't know how effective it is but it does work Used a CAI intake and on the highway at 70 the vararam pulls a little harder. Lower speeds around 25 and under they feel the same. Did not test it with a scoop but i think with the scoop they will preform pretty much the same. This summer i'll be doing a few mods to the intake to improve the ram effect even more and see if that does anything.

Also no change what so ever in the eng temp. And i dont think the intake is heating up the air any having it sit on the radiator. I mean after all the intakes air path is way way way shorter then any other cai system out. and the fresh air enters the motor pretty fast so it has no time for the intakes temp to really heat up the air unless its a hot day and your sitting at idle.

Great intake. I was a little iffy about it and i love it now. Besides who else will put a guarantee on there claims. Dyno and run it. If you dont see the gains they guarantee hit them up for your money back and send it back

I just purchased blackout vinyl's "Fascia and Valance".

This summer were going to go turbo with some other stuff. Im a disabled vet "Iraq and Afg." so a lot of places have been giving me parts at below dealer pricing.

Going to be driving out to NV. soon and figure i would just drive out to L.A. why i was there just to make it cross country lol.

I'm sure not to put any Pro Military Propaganda on my Camaro because here in the Bay Area, a lot of people are Radical. Anyways thanks again, and you deserve everything! If I could have it my way, id make sure all Military Vets get the best treatment EVER for their sacrifice!

I got a C.I.B. plate on mine. Gotta love Michigan charges me for this plate every year. You would think that they would give you it for free after a few years of being on a two way firing range. But whatever. I spent 13 years in the Army discharged after i got shot up not to far from Khost Afg.

I know all about Cali. I have been there a few times. Stood in front of of feinstein office flipping it off for 10 min. I usually go to cali after i go to NV. Most people think i go for Las Vegas but i go there for the desert. Strange thing it feels more like home alone there. I feel comfortable.

Anyways I'll be updating the results of the Headers once I get them installed. Gotta wait until next week to get them installed. I have yet to see anyone with the Apex Sequential Lights here in the Bay Area. I'd assume it's because the cost of living.

Most of the Camaro's I come across look like they're being leased.

I'm making my own controller for that. I have a degree in electronic engineering and work for a place building fiberoptic receivers. So i got all the equipment i need at work to do it lol. I'm still shopping for some headers right now.

Funny thing is when i lived in GA on my way to MI. there was a LEO camaro i thought it was a car just sitting on the side of the road since most were Chargers I was doing stand up wheelies he seen me pulled out hit the lights i was on my ZX10R. Good thing i dident get a ticket

200hp at the wheel on a less then 450lb bike. Had to get rid of it before i killed my self.
