So this Vararam is ******* me off, the instructions I have are sad. They couldn't make them colored so you could see what they have going on. I'm having troubles getting the front scoop to sit correctly without either hitting the horn or cooler behind it. Does anyone have pics of their intake so I can see what they look like? Mines not sitting down even and I'm not wanting to cut this intake.

I have a vararam and that looks the same as mine. Except my tube didn't come with a hole for the MAF sensor so I had to drill my own haha

Your guy's don't rub on the condenser lines at all? Mine does, you can see in my last photo. That's what is causing mine to not sit level. I'm assuming from the holes drilled that the textured parts of both pieces should be facing you? (As in the the small piece is installed on the backside of the top intake piece)

Well Brian yours is a 16' and it's a little different than mine but what did you do with your horn and everything so it doesn't mess with the scoop?

Mine is a 2014 and I had to trim on the left side to lay flat. It still has a lean, when the hood is up, because the vararam is sitting on the a/c hose across the front.

I'm gunna have to trim mine as well on the left side near the a/c lines so it'll sit flat too. I'm just surprised they wouldn't accommodate the intake for that.
