......and installed my Varis intake duct.

It was a scary install. Particularly right after I cut the big hole, and before installing the duct.

It was a little nerve-racking. , but Iam very pleased with it.

 

looks GREAT!

 

ahh yes another PPW with Varis. I like the way PPW + Varis looks, good contrast with black carbon fiber. I was a little nervous cutting my bumper too, but the result was worth it. Yours looks good. Now just get you some PPW AUT eyelids from Intense and that front end will look mean.

 

Yeah I considered those. There not for me.

They do look mean though.

I like ur taste in mods though.

 

what holds it in? Is it friction it? rivited? double-sided tape?

 

little bolts hold it in.

 

4 screws to be exact.

 

expensive mod considering the claimed 2 hp increase.

 

Any performance gain is just a bonus. It was more a visual mod for me.

 

Looks great

 

how much was it?

 

looks good

 

149 shipped.

 

I assume they give you guidelines on how to cut?

And what about rain with these things?

Anyway, nice, nice install!

 

Yuck. Sorry, me no like. Glad your happy though.

 

yea they do give guidelines.. and i live in los angeles.. and there were some heavy rains, but nothing wrong while i had my varis airduct installed... i got it too as just a look mod too.. lookin nice

 

I don't think rain is an issue with these things. Its the same as the VaraRAM for the vette guys. My brother had this on his old 04 z06 and had no problems whatsoever.

Just don't be an idiot and spray water directly up into it and you're fine.

I too love the look on a PPW Z but man cutting the initial hole must be so nerve wreckening, Luckily, the end results puts you at ease

Am I the only one who thinks that looks horrible?

 

After #17 posts, apparently so, lol.

No no, before I hated it and didn't think it looked good at all. Perhaps its something you need to see in person to appreciate.

It flows very well with black, silverstone, chrome silver 350zs.

I think its more of an anestetic thing. If you are looking for performance and hate the way it looks, you can always paint it to match your car.

Hi,
I've painted my Varis. I think the contrast carbon fiber / super black is not really nice. My body shop closed the holes for the screws, too. It's fixed with glue now.
