honestly boss, i dont think ive ever read ANYTHING good about vararam, especially the velocity stack, im not going to tell you if one intake is better than another, because you didnt ask that, but i have never ran a vararam, just putting my .02 cents in that i havent heard anything good about their products.

I have ran that intake, and quality was not one of its high points, neither was performance. Looking back it was a waste of money.

Save your self some cash and make one.

Save your money. I had one, bought it unused off ebay for $200, installed it, saw no difference in mileage or power, pulled it off, sold it for $200, then bought an STS turbo kit and love it. I have seen dyno graphs on two 6.0 trucks that had only a tune and an AFE intake and picked up over 40 HP. Not to say you will see similar results, but at least that intake didn't hurt performance as I have heard some have. The guy that bought my VaraRam loves it, by the way, and he didn't care much for power or mileage increases as much as the "GEE WHIZ" factor when you pop the hood. The Volant has had some good reviews. See you...

thanks for all your thoughts....it sounds like I should steer clear of the vr6....for now at least although I like the thought of that sts kit I guess a k@n will do for now

The K&N kits are supposed to be pretty nice, but I am impressed with NoChrome's intake also. That intake looks factory! Awesome job!

That idea actualy belongs to BlackGMC, while mine does look similar to that, it was not my idea first.

I dont really care for K&N or any other name brand intake system, I mean seariously $200 to $350 for molded plastic and a filter. Seriously? I built my kit for less than a hundred bucks, and I got a big *** cone filter too.
