2008-09 Pontiac G8 GT GXP Vararam VR-G8 Ram Air Intake System

SKU: G83013

Quick Feature List: Produces a real-world 35+ horsepower A direct bolt on, no chopping or cutting of the car is required Unreal throttle response Flows 1400-2000 CFM+ (Depending on the filter used) Reduces 0-60 time by a full half second! Tested at 5.2 seconds stock versus 4.7 seconds with the VR system and no tuning. With a tune, Vararam saw 4.4 sec but had no tire grip to go any faster. Reduces 1/4 mile ET by 3 tenths and adds 3 mph minimum, guaranteed, or Vararam will take the unit back and pay shipping both ways! NO TUNING is required. With tuning, you will go even quicker and gain more power The G8 unit was a true exercise in packaging. Vararam had to package as much flow potential as possible in 5 inches of length! This includes a removable front scoop, for the interchangeability of different scoop designs for street and racing combinations. The advanced staircase lower floor creates negative pressure to turn the air while minimizing turbulence, exceeding the flow of a smooth transition. (If you look closely inside the kit, you can see the mill marks where the unit was milled by hand in order to achieve the precise angles required). Large overlapping flanges are used - this allows the use of thicker, higher flow filters for future power or racing use while maintaining a proper seal for pressurization. The filter is an exclusive unit again for Vararam, made to their specs for pleat depth and spacing to maximize flow for every square inch of material. The standard 3/4 inch unit (as was tested and flowed versus our competition) flows 1400 CFM at 28 inches of water and the 1 inch SD street filter flows 1600 CFM at 28 inches of water. The competition filters flow 1850-2000 CFM and up. During the ram effect it exceeds the ratings listed above by 15%. The main air box features a two-step air horn for low and high-speed aero packages for increased throttle response and low RPM windup for quicker stoplight-to-stoplight acceleration. The enlarged neck's inner diameter is capable of accepting stock to 100mm and larger air meters for heavily modified cars. Military specification materials are used throughout from the custom extruded flat black plastic capable of 275 degrees F to the quick release low-pressure latches. They also incorporated a high lower arch allowing the use of larger, taller radiators if the need ever arises down the road.

Up to this point I have always run K&N air intake systems in all of my vehicles. When it came time to buy one for my G8, I was a little disappointed in the power gain they were estimating and the price they were quoting. After doing much research I purchased the Vararam System and couldn't be happier. This system was relatively easy to install and really changed the look under the hood. When driving you will notice the throttle response is definitely increased, but under light loads it acts like a stock car. Under heavy loads you will hear a deep intake tone inside the car that changes the whole tone of the car for the better. On the Dyno I saw 28hp. And 34ft/lbs improvements over stock, which is just below what Vararam claims. Would recommend to anyone who doesn't want to pay upwards of $600 for a VCM system.

The product was pretty good, the pcv fitting was plastic and it was supposed to be brass, and the filter was too big for the ram air housing, was able to cut it down pretty easily though. All in all it's a good product but if you want to see the +35 hp gains you will need to have your car tuned for the ram air

This intake definitely added some power to my G8 GT along with a custom tune! Much better throttle response and overall power. Pfyc.com shipped it out really quick and had the best price.
