I had this same thought. I would like to wait a see what K&N comes out with or JLT. I am not in a rush to mess around with her yet.

 

I am going to wait on K&N as well...

 

The Vararam system is hard to beat.

 

So where do you get such a devise? Looks interesting.

 

What did that intake set you back? It looks very good!
Thanks,

yeah nice intake, what is the hp gain on it and price?

 

Vara-Ram is most excellent. I have the Roto-Fab and love it!

 

I have the Roto-Fab with the vector tuning and it runs great!

 

I contacted Flowmaster and they told me that they would not be putting anything into motion (such as R&D) due to the unkown of Pontiac's future.

 

Guys,
Check out Harrop.com.au for some of the best info on the Australian Performance parts for the Commodore / G8...also..redbackexhaust.com.au they have the best sounding hi performance exhaust system on the market...with the exchange rate against the Aussie $$$ it could be worth importing the parts from Down Under...Just a Thought.

 

for all those interested in the Vararam intake I did find it on ebay and it is rather cheap for what you would think:

Vararam Intake

 

Has anybody had any experience with a "Kooks" exhaust. Saw one on Youtube last night and it sounds awsome!

Also does the aftermarket intake disable your cylinder deactivation?

 

I had the Kooks X-pipe system installed on my 1967 GTO with the "lower-volume" exhaust. It sounds great.

Just bought a new G8 GXP, but have not messed with it.

Regards.

 

Has anyone installed the Vararam or the New-Era OTR on their car? Both are radiator front mount intakes but I am looking at what is going to bring in the most air and of course add the most power.

Thanks

 

I have the Kooks rear mufflers only and it sounds great.

 

when is k&N coming out with theres i just bought one and started looking at mods

 

this one is affordable, doesn't require a mafless tune, does indeed make a difference, and under acceleration....... sounds EXCELLENT!!

no one is really shouting out a definite CAI that is the be all must get... so i hear about the vara, roto, and K&N... in a comparison which is the best to get?? and also can you open the vents on the hood or is there a kit for this, and will water get to the intake from this

 

Testing has proven Vararam makes the most HP and gets better gas mileage as well. Track testing shows at least .1 better then other OTRs and a minimum of 1 mph too.

 

Magnaflow no doubt. Its exhaust parts sounds better than the other. It runs like a beast and it gives the car the best performance at all speeds.

 

What gas mileage improvements are you getting? -Kip

 

I have an SLP intake, great piece.

I bought a second one to modify for a project but never got around to it - so it is new in the box if anyone is interested!

 

I have been looking at the vcm-performance OtrCai - looks great and is apparently better performing than others tested.
There is a thread on it here.

 

The VCM is probably the most expensive option out there, but I love mine! Even without the corresponding tune (yet) I saw a 2 tenths improvement in ET in my M6 GXP. The quality, fit, and finess are top notch, and installation wasn't too tough.

 

Injen will have an intake shortly for the GT. My car is down at Injen right now. They are using it to build the intake off of. They said it will be somewhat like the one they are building for the new Camaro's. Adrian emailed me the other day and said my car was doing about 302 HP at the rear tires. He did not tell me what the car did stock. I am picking the car up Monday afternoon the 28th. I will get the dyno print outs then and post them up and let you guys know what I think. We have installed a few of the Injen intakes on Honda and they do pretty well.

 

I'm gunna go afe with pro dry filter. I can get it for 228 w/ free shipping on autoanything.com with coupon 15retail. Once it gets here I am going to pandp tb too. Then the next thing.is hfc's and lt's. That's about as far as im gunna take my gt. (already have slp loudmouth axle back)
