Ebay has some cheaper ones. I think they are replicas, but I have heard a few members on here that are happy with them.

How do you cut a hole on the front bumper anyway? I don't suppose you can do it with a butter knife. What's the proper way to do it?

Actually, a sharp utility knife does the trick just fine. Just line up the template, tape it in place and mark the outline of the hole on the bumper with a dry-erase marker, then cut it out; it's very easy to do. You may need to then trim a bit of the styrefoam support behind there to get the duct to seat properly, then use the supplied self-tapping screws to secure it.

Does the duct extend from the bumper opening all the way to the intake tract, or does it fall behind midway? Does anybody have a pic of this sections specifically?

It does not go all the way back to the intake. Evo-R makes an add-on duct piece to use with the Varis to accomplish this.

so the replicas are good quality? I had a Varis authentic from the group buy and I sold it, now I am too broke to re-order it..

I think I'm going to go replica but I'm worried about the clear coat turning yellow/fading.
