Hey everyone,

just posting this for the first time on this site, names Jon I'm from Md, met up with rubberfrog to get the vararam intake last weekend, went to the beach this weekend and put it on when I got back. Didn't require too much patience to install, a little tough with the tubing but its in and running. Noticed a definite change in power, great sound I really love it, and im avg 13.9mpg now was at 12.8-13.1 last week, and thats with me playing with the vararam. I took some pics but I don't know how to put them on the forum, so I will just attach them. My bad. lol

Thanks fellas, im very impressed with the sound, because its drawing outside air the more throttle the more sound, so its kinda fun to play with through the ranges, plus the oil breather adds a nice touch

Looks good. But man! I drive from Abingdon (Harford County) to Reagan National every day. 13.9 mpg would bankrupt me! Thankfully I'm getting 17.5-18.0 mpg out of my 4.7L!

Looks sweet! I'm glad to see you replaced that oil breather. I told you it was shot. lol

What did you do with your stock intake?

How far is your commute (do you drive your Ram daily)? Mine is 130 miles RT. Used to be 60 RT until April.
