I have heard it is about the best CAI out there, but not worth $500.

If the girl in the ad came over and installed it in a See Thru Top, I might think about the $500 price tag.

deffinitly not worth it....this was discussed in a post a lil while back as well....but i would spend my $500 else where, buy a different CAI and have money left over for more mods.....however, if the model was to come along for $500 then i'd deffinitly be finding $500 to spend lol

Well, it is the only one that can actually claim it is a CAI. I still wouldn't spend the money. Besides, I'd have to remove my tow-hooks!!

lol....

I used to drive a BMW... You guys don't realize how good we have it, owning Dodges.

My BMW, a 2006 330i... cost me $1000 for a MUFFLER. not a catback. a MUFFLER. And a mediocre, just for looks intake was $400. The good one was $850.... A chip for the new 335i is $1400. Etc.......

I'm glad I drive my Dodge now.

this isnt new... i have seen it on trucks as well.. they have high claims for it and a couple of people are runing them on their trucks on dodge talk and a couple other forums.. would I pay that no thats why i got a trueflow it was also ranked high amongst the competitors and a fair price. eltupac i believe some intakes are worth the money because the stock airbox is too restrictive.. just my .02

If the variram does all those things
why won't they have a Society of Automotive (SAE) observer present
to verify that the tests were accurate and truthful?

Chrysler's official policy is to have a SAE observer present to verify that a dyno test has been done correctly.

So has GM, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Honda...all of them.

Even NFL football teams have an umpire observer for the coin flip.
