Just received the Vararam today, will be installing tonight around 630 I'm going to post some pictures and hopefully some audio of both the intake and exhaust(MBRP). Gonna tune the truck from regular to performance with the bully dog while I'm at it so well see how much a difference they both make.

I'm hoping to go very detailed with pics and vids so maybe it will help others decide if they want it or not. I'm running a 2010 dodge ram crew cab with the hemi

Moes gave the best deal and by far best customer service I have ever dealt with. Hoping to get a throttle body in the near future.

New posts tonight

Rock on. I'm looking forward to your post this evening after you take it for a test drive.

Agreed. Matt and Moes is the best bet for performance because the guy knows his **** as he has tested them time and time again.

Because these were on backorder for 3 weeks, we ended up shipping all 28 backordered kits on the same day. Since then, we have sold another 26 units. These things are just flying off the shelves, so I'm seeing another backorder in the near future. Its hard to keep a good running part on the shelf long.

okay call us I just did the biggest bone head move installing my vararam yesterday. I put thepart backwards that goes between the rad and horn. and I had a hard time with a fit so I took it off today and Matt was helping me talk about a return. I looked at the DIY section and saw I had it backwards now it fits like a gem. I will take pictures and videos tomorrow during the daylight this is in a 2500 thanks Matt for your help. The 2 hours clock it ticking.

Well that's the install done I have the front still ripped apart putting in bi xenon hid headlights 6000k but I have sounds videos. anyone have any ideas of how to put them on?

You can hear the intake with the hood up pretty good but exhaust kills the sound inside the truck. Exhaust also sounds better IMO. Haven't had the chance to get on it yet to see performance but so far I love it and love the look.

Pretty easy install, was a PITA to get the damn sensor out of the tube. Other then that Vararam used way to many packing peanuts lol.

haha...I have to swap filter lids on these kits every week, and I always make a mess of those packing peanuts when I open the boxes.

Got my kit Friday and installed on Saturday. Put it under a trial by fire as I didn't get to do any test runs until we had to visit my sister on a nice trip down the interstate. Could feel a difference and then saw a difference when my hood popped up (still latched thank goodness, but not closed). A brief stop at the next exit with a firm slam of the hood and I haven't had a problem since. I'm loving the extra power and it seems like the truck is already accommodating the extra air flow. MPGs are going up on the EVIC, but we'll see come next fill-up. I also like the extra room it frees up by removing the factory air box. It looks great and performs great! Thanks for the hookup Matt!

First video is pre intake, second is post and 3rd is a drive by, there is about a 1 minute delay in the middle of video 3 had to go turn around lol. The truck is way throatier and can def feel the throttle response while rolling. And was actually able to spin the tires of the line just by stepping on the gas. Which I couldn't do with the 35s

The best pass by is video 3 about 1:16 mark. And also that's before the new head lights which make the world of difference

The truck sounds great. I'm glad you are happy with the added power.
