Vararam Intake
All of these installations are to be performed at your own risk!!!!
Step 7:
Install one of the air scoops. I used the OEM bezel bolts here without any spacers. On my car everything lined up perfectly. Install the air scoop for the other side.
Step 8:
Reinstall your fog lights. If you think they are misaligned you can do a search for the proper way to align them. Mine seemed to go in perfectly so I am not going to discuss alignment procedures. The only difference it that the VaraRam does cover up a portion of the top of the fog light, not much, but some.
Step 9:
Take the white clips out of the front shroud with the intention of reusing them. I took a small flat head and pryed the retainer away a little and worked it off with a pair of needle nose pliers. Push the white pins back into their original location on the AC condenser. You can get it mostly in and use a long flat head to push the rest of it in the hole. Reinstall the shroud and connect all of the plugs in their original locations and replace the retaining clips on the white pins.
Step 10:
Install the VaraRam filter and push it in all the way until it looks even. This filter goes in with the screen side facing the throttle body.
Step 11:
Pull the elbow out of the stock air box along with the grommet and install it onto the VaraRam box. Put the grommet in first. This is a compression fitting so it is difficult to get both in at the same time. Replace the hose clip you took off earlier. This simply clicks together now you don't have to run the teeth parallel to put it back on. Put on the VaraRam box.
Step 12:
Replace the radiator cross support. Replace the air bridge, plug the MAF back in and replace the battery cable and you are good to go!
VaraRam suggests around a 45 minute drive at speeds above 55mph to get the PCM to program itself for the extra air. Alternatively, about three passes at the strip. This intake yields EXCELLENT RESULTS!
