Vararam Snow Problem

[Firefighter14]

Has anyone found a rain sock that fits on a Vararam or found a way to stop snow from getting into the intake. I just drove through lake effect snow and the back of the intake was packed full of snow

I think that Hemi385 was going to try to test a couple of different things---not positive about this, but someone has talked about it if it isn't him. I know that some people just go back to the stock CAI during the winter if they have a lot of snow.

This is the only reason I went with S&B over vararam

Do you buy chance have the dimensions of the filter used for vararam??

I would start by calling the big Cai manufactures and see if any of them make customer bag sizes.

Right now I’m wishing I had gone with an S&B

Common problem with vararam, all the guys I know up north running them go back to stock for winter.

As stated, I would play it safe and go back to stock for the winter.

I had brought up custom pre-filters in the other thread. Being in South Texas I haven't needed one, but I might eventually get one to keep the bigger stuff out... like butterflies, small birds, etc.

Thanks. I’m going to contact this company and see if they can make one if so I’m going to order 2 and I’m also going to order a second air filter for one I clean this one

The filters are single source from Vararam and they run about $90 plus shipping. I just looked around and bought one from someone on the forum that had an extra they wanted to get rid of--way cheaper.

Yup I think the only way to get one elsewhere would be custom order and that would probably be more than $90. I was trying to find a dry flow like the AFE, but came up empty on off the shelf filters that would fit.

There is suppose to be a K&N somewhere with similar dimensions, but I don't think it's much cheaper and I don't have the part number--sorry

Has anyone verified that this fits and works? I'm want to get a vararam, not for performance but so I can clear up that air box space to do a dual battery setup. So, putting the stock airbox back on during the winter will not be a viable option.
I live in western washington so we definitely get snow, sometimes to an extreme. It would be great to know if these prefilters actually keep water from melted snow out. Thanks in advance.

There's a post where someone from vararam industries replied on here about the same issue and said the way it's designed it will not let any rain or melted snow get inside and harm the engine.
