I've never seen factory intake, can you show a picture of one in car and how it's routed? Another picture of it removed?

Epic music and boring video for plastic horsepower.....

i'd prefer that vendors take their time and present results rather than this stuff...

Oh boy. A pissing contest...


Vararam Guy (What's your name?)

I had a VR-B2 on my C5Z and it was fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us. But like its been asked, how will this system differ? I haven't pulled apart my stock C7 intake yet, and would rather not yet. How is it routed and how does the air flow?

I really hope these are put together better than the one I bought for my C6!

What are you talking about that intake looks great with your purse.

Just kidding around I have no dog in this fight!

Seen the stuff they're going to do in person and will say that everyone will be extremely happy and extremely impressed with the numbers. Give it time folks

So Vararam, what's the holdup? This video has been around since Oct 2013 and there doesn't seem to be any new info since.

The aFe can be purchased for around $490 and they are claiming 18HP and 22ft/lbs increase.

Looks like Breathless has given up on the C7. (my favorite for the C6)

AIRAID drop-in elements are claiming increases for around $100.

K&N says they have an element that gives 10 to 15 HP though I don't think I've seen it for sale anywhere.

Seems like you should have something by now considering this video is almost a year old...

WTF? This show nothing. Repeat...nothing. Why bother with thus video.

The C7 has been out 11 months and 2 others intakes have been on sale for months. Past products from Vararam were frankly poorly designed and manufactured.

I'll pass.

I am quite sure extensive R&D had been done for the C7 VARARAM. However, I feel that the vendors fail to improve in the CAI category. The C7 stock intake must be the state of the art. VARARAM was always my first choice. I just think it's going to be awhile. Just my .02

I talked to the guys at Vararam this weekend and its a bit of a process that they are working on and the numbers that will be produced are going to be astounding!
