Got my Vararam and catch can from Moe's installed about 2 weeks ago. The intake has been great so far, and I've notices about 1/2mpg boost with it despite getting all over the throttle to put it to the test.

I'm considering plasti-dipping the paintable lid on it. Any color suggestions??

Used some chalk to check the seal with the hood, overall pretty good I'd say.

Is your truck 2WD ?? Also did you keep the stock throttle body?

Mine is 4WD. I have the stock TB for now, although the 87mm TB from Moe's is on the wish list for the future.

Ahh Figured as much once i saw you were going to be installing the Bils, was hoping yours was 2WD and had some good news for me! But awesome truck man i have the same exact thing besides 2WD, looking to find a level kit and get a vararam and catch can on it here in the upcoming months, yours inspired me!

Installed my Bils (finally!) and plasti-dipped the wheels yesterday. Happy with the results. Truck looks like a whole different animal with the black wheels. Also debadged a few weeks back.

Well, I finally bought a lift and wheels for my truck, except it came in the form of a motorcycle :D

I went back and forth on it quite a bit cause my truck is something I enjoy every day, and motorcycle I have a hard time finding time to get on it. Overall happy with the decision. This is the first time I bought something modded to the max vs getting it bone stock like I usually do. Figured I'd save some money this way :roflsquared:

Its a 2004 R6 with an extended swingarm, 300 wide tire, air ride, and plenty of engine work. My bike before (first bike) was a 250 Ninja so I've got a lot of learning to do to get my riding skill up. So far I haven't managed to push it over half throttle. Riding it is both awesome and absolutely terrifying at the same time :D

Nice truck!!! Your mod's so far look great. Maybe an under hood dress up kit from BT and a set of 1/2 covers from 3g Custom will really make the engine pop. Also like David said paint the Vararam cover to match the truck color.

I bet that thing is a dog compared to a stock R6 with that massive tire. I'm not a fan of stretched/lowered/spiky thing but have an appreciation for all things 2 wheels. Enjoy the new ride.
