having a difficult time choosing between vararam longtubes with highflow cats or ARH LT w/ HF cats. heard lots of good about performance on bolt on builds with the ARH setup but havent heard anyone that runs the VR's. Definitely wanna hold out spending that kinda money without doing as much research as i can. At this point im leaning towards Vararams LT setup

For the record before i get someones hopes up with the above post lol, i spoke with vararam, and the headers for the hemi was a "test/concept" that they had that they cancelled... so even though they show em on there website, pictures, offer them for the 5.7 hemi with or without high flow cats..... they do not make them... bummer because they looked very nice

Guys love the 4th gen vararam but the third gen version is absolutel trash. I have a thread somewhere with pics of it literally breaking apart, and the hinges coming off, and how those hoses suck up every rock, leaf,bird, on the planet. In my long career of racing, and selling performance parts, that is the single most overrated piece of crap I have ever wasted money on. Oh yeah, their customer service was a joke. Didn't even respond under warranty

I agree, when I was looking at one for my 3rd gen I thought the same thing about quality, but I had an idea to retrofit a 4th gen to my 03'. With a lot of re-engineering and moving things around under the hood, I pulled this off and fabricated a removable snorkel to go with it.
CAUTION: Beat to death photos inserted, but I promise guys, there will be a LOT of updates coming as I am going through a divorce (yay!)

You post a ad for these here yet? I would imagine someone on here would buy em, especially since they the armour coated ones. I've set myself on the ARH kit
