really impressed with vararam felt the difference above 30 mph thanks moes performance for your fast shipping

Matt is a super helpful guy if you ever need anything for your truck. I have bought alot of my mods through Moe's and have called Matt on every single one to discuss the best options for me and my Ram. Top notch service and great knowledge on these 4th Gen. Ram Trucks. Great Job Matt! Keep it up Bro!

Mr Cornish here. I ordered mines Monday. Can't wait to receive it. The installation seems simple enough. So I won't have to get my mechanic involved. Go Moe's Performance!

Thanks for the really good video and info in the comments. I have been researching different intakes and had conflicting feedback on this one (which had been my pick from the beginning). Now I see that the negative feedback/videos on this intake are all due to “operator error”. Definitely ordering this and new throttle body from you guys!!

This set up make's so much more sense than many of the other products that I see out there... what would be really hot is to have the shaker cover go through the hood, just like on the 69 Mustang... would really look awesome!

Lol my man did this in his polo 👕 shirt and flip flops. 😎

I have the Mopar CAI, was considering purchasing the functional hood scoops however I can get this damn Veraram for about the same price as those Ram Air ducts and the way it cleans up the engine bay is a definite selling point.

Thanks Matt for a most excellent install video!!!

I’m getting mine tomorrow I can’t wait to install it.

well done !! nice video.. I may be installing one of these shortly.. reminds me of my ole school mpapar days in the late 60's..

You should do a video on how to remove, oil, clean, and reinstall the filter.

Aww we wanted to hear it fire up

Most Excellent Video... sorry for the pun but it is Excellent! You remind me of a "younger me"... I wanted to install the Vararam on my 2003 Dodge Ram, first year with the 5.7 hemi. I owned since new and never did this, kicking myself since (have bruises to prove it)... now own a 2017 Express with the 3.6 V6 and I love the motor... almost as much HP as my old truck, wish there was a Vararam for it. Love you attention to detail, especially the radiator cover, looks still like it came from the factory. Kudos!!

Great video Matt! And for everyone thinking about one of these, let me just say I’ve tried 3 different cold air filters on my truck and This one gave me the best gains!

This video made it so simple to install

Thank you for making thos video. I have a 2017 hemi express which i use to pull a trailer 6 days a week. I think i can benefit from this intake. Make more videos like this.

Wow I was just looking at one of these at my local performance shops and drooled

No I don’t do any dirt roads with that intake, plus not too many where I live..in my opinion this intake is more for street/strip use. That’s what I wanted to built my ram for. 🏁👍🏼

I I installed this on my 2017 Ram 1500 a few weeks ago and love it. Looks good and performs better, with no cooling issues at all. Gets better gas mileage then the K&N it replaced and has great throttle response. It took less than an hour to install, including the time to cut the radiator cover. I highly recommend this system.

Thanks for the video, super clear and easy. Couple of questions: 1.) Does this fit the 5th gen 2019 Ram with the 5.7L? 2.) Recommend any twisty funnels to get to the engine oil fill? Would rather not take the whole thing off for an oil change 3.) Does that PCV breather filter need to be cleaned at the same interval? As a side note I don't understand why the PCV breather gets fed back to the intake, but I see this on all engines. Like you said it decreases intake air density and throws oil at the filter, and it's not like we're short on air

Loving this rig

I recently installed this on my 2017 Ram 1500 and the flap does NOT block the condenser as it IS angled a little bit away from the condenser...so you nay sayers that keep saying it is blocking everything, you are wrong...it does a GREAT job as it was designed to do, and my in town mileage has increased greatly! People keep saying that the small "drains" seem to not work, but they are not drains, they are air intakes to push cooler air into the "blanket" under the intake to help keep it cooler...so stop drilling holes in them! I didn't like the size of the hose clamps that came with it, so I just used the originals off of the stock intake on the hose that connects it to the throttle body...other than that, it is exactly as described, and does exactly what they say it will without issues...

I'm impressed at how you did this job and didn't get any dirt on a white shirt! I know the engine is clean but, not even a spec of anything? LOL

I like what you did.looks great

will the vararam air intake work with any upgraded throttle body,especially a hellcat t.b.

Will this work with a 2005 hemi 1500. Also my hood had a air scoop thing and so will it be a problem with water going in the scoop at high speeds and is there a power difference or gas mileage. This video is amazing thank you.

Blocking the radiator does engine run hotter. Does fan run longer when towing. Hp gains?? MPG? I would like to hear your thoughts on it now. Thinking about getting one for a ram 1500.

I have this intake on my 2019, love it and how clean it looks and makes my exhaust sound so much better and I get better mileage with it 25 highway and 20 city 5.7 87-89 octane

Great video! 2015 big horn. I'm looking at this so I can free up space on the right side for an auxiliary battery. BTW, is there any reason to put the plastic engine cover back on. I am also concerned about blocking air to the radiator and Trans cooler. Thanks again for a well produced video!

I understand that this pulls in air when moving (much like the stock system) but it's also sitting on top of a hot engine and heat rises. So if you stop for any amount of time this thing is going to heatsoak like crazy. It'd be interesting to see back to back pulls with this vs the stocker. I bet this only makes more power on the first pull vs stock

I wonder if lining that bottom side of that plate with heat reflecting tape would help?

Where can I find a replacement filter ? I like to have a clean one so I don’t have to wait a day for it to dry.

Awesome video Mat. This is my first time to see this type of cold air intake looks great and I bet it does perform well. I have a 2014 ram 5.7 L and still want to do the 6.4 intake modification to it. is there anything like this for that intake?

love it. I'd also get a ram air hood. that would be sick

Snow does sometimes get up to the filter here in Wisconsin , I wish there was a silicone sleeve to wrap around to keep condensation and bugs out. Overall the best In take money buys!

Definitely gonna be an impulse buy for me here!

super nice intake

Do you guys have like a performance package for a 2014 Ram?

Just installed this today. Only issue I am having is I loosened the AC line bolt on the side but MAYBE got 1/8th of movement. Nothing compared to what it looked like in the video. The video actually makes it look like you bend the bracket a bit to get it that low? My AC line is definitely still pushing on the new Vararam making it crooked. Any suggestions? Thank you - mike

That’s a nice set up and a whole lot less restrictive than the factory box. I bet it sounds good to when you get on it

Love your ram I own a 2012 crew cab with 133000 miles Iove it

were can i get one for my 2019 rebel new body style? love that orange, also im in minnesota safe to this in the cold winters?

Will it seal to the hood if the insulation has been removed?

Would the install be very similar on a 2014 5.7?

You need to do a video showing why it won’t overheat your truck, some of these people ought to read the comments before commenting the same thing over and over, I haven’t seen anything about trucks overheating

It looks like it blocks the radiator a bit, any issues with the vehicle running hotter? Especially when towing

is there anything like this ram air intake available for a 2006 4.7 1500 dodge

Will this sit on top of a Edelbrock E force supercharger for 2017 1500?

So was there a dyno to let us know the before and after numbers so we can know what to expect?

Great video! Just wondering, i have an AFE throttle body spacer. Will i need to cut the silicon coupler for proper height? And also with the active shutter removal, is there a kit or something so that when i remove it i don't get a code or light that they don't work?

Do you know if vararam makes one of these for the 6.4? Or if it's possible to use this 5.7 one and pipe it to the throttle body ainf the 6.4 sits angled a d not straight up?

Whats really impressive is how clean your engine bay is lol

If clutch fan has been removed and replaced with electric fan will there be any issues

Like the video, but would like to know what the thoughts are on vents. I have a 2017 also but I have auto air vents behind my grill. How would this system work with those.

Will the truck run hotter because the wing is blocking the top portion of the radiator? Is the oil fill cap blocked?

Does that front wing fit over radiator on trucks with the tow package?

Will this fit on the 2019 classic with the active grill shutters?

Yeah I think I’ll be going this route.

So I’m sure you can use ur stock hood but is it compatible with an aftermarket hood

I like this alot. One question though? If your truck has A.G.S. (ACTIVE GRILL SHUTTERS). Will this still work the same.

Matt, how will the active grill shutters affect the intake? Should I remove them and install a shutter delete kit for optimal performance?

Looks cool. Can you hear a difference at all inside the cab when driving WOT?

Does it effect the engine temp as it’s blocking part of the radiator?

I have this rt few mods done uts running pretty hard I'm fixing to out 6.1 heads I have a problem I can't figure out every once in awhile I get a vibration that's not in the tires are wheel and temp goes up please help and is there anything to keep Trans brake locking up

your filter "Wing" is cover the upper part of the ac condenser which is the transmission cooler.... so I don't know what great about that ....Looks great thou ...hope you figure something out especially for the hot states in summer like Huston Texas etc.

Question wouldn't this intake prevent some air... ok a little air to hit the radiator would it affect anything?? Cooling ??? Thanks and have a good one

I put 60K miles on my truck with the Vararam and love it. I love the look of peoples faces when they see it.

Now all you need is an electric Grabber Hood or a Cowl Induction Hood. Air Grabber would look awesome!

Will it be beneficial to use my Active Grill Shutter delete kit to increase airflow to the wing of the Vararam?

Possibly Dumb question but how do you wash/clean the filter? It's supposed to be a washable kind not the kind you replace all the time right?

My question is !! Does the shield bloke air to the radiator? I’m afraid it’s gonna hurt the truck because of it

Two questions, would it be beneficial to get a functioning ram air hood similar to the sport models? And does it come it red? Thanks!!

Does removing the shutter behind the grille help for more air ?

Is it ok to put the engine cover back on before you put the air box on or does the cover need to be off ?

Do you have to delete the active grille shutter?

Can this intake be set up with the sport hood? I’m guessing so but you don’t show the truck hood in the video.

This intake definitely works better than other CAIs. BUT, upon receiving it, I just kept thinking, I paid how much again for this cheaply made product. The plastic is thin and flimsy and the parts don’t fit together all that well. The tube that attaches to the throttle body was way too large in diameter. Does it work? Oh yeah...track proven. However, the quality of the parts didn’t give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about the purchase.

How much hotter is the truck running with a larger amount of the radiator being covered?

Is the filter replaceable. Can I put an oiled filter in place of the dry filter there from a part store. For example. If I went into a part store and baught a K&N filter the same size and diameter of the dry filter that comes with the kit, would I be able to swap the filters?

Installed mine yesterday on a 12 sport, mine sits a bit higher than the weather stripping near the windshield, the hood closes when dropped, but I'm wondering if I need to trim the hose that connects to the throttle body for it to sit lower? (double checked and hose is as far down on the throttle body and as far up on the vararam as it can go) next if it sits a bit too high am I damaging anything or losing airflow?

Anyone know if the "wing" causes coolant temps to go up? Looks like it blocks part of the rad.

All you guys talking about sound. If you here a sound a deep sound etc that's called restriction.... some intakes the plastic tube gives it a little throaty sound. But that deep sound is the sound of restrictive air flow being sucked threw gaps etc. You dont want to hear anything. The less you hear the better. No noise equals less tube run, less restriction. Just try taking off your tube from the throttle body. Step on the gas. You wont hear anything. No restriction wide open

Can this be used with active grille shutters?

I feel that the wing should be half as high so you don't limit the air going over the radiator

Seams like the big chin spoiler hanging down in front of the radiator and ac condenser and whatever other coolers are in the front on the truck will cause some type of overheating issues?

will this void a factory warranty, It looks cool and would purchase

how much performance can we expect to see under nice cool dry conditions ?

They make ‘em for GM 5.3?

So I have a question. That plastic flap hanging in front of the radiator does it block cooling any?

I like it too

Question what was the reason why you had to delete the engine cover?🛠🇺🇸

Will this affect smog in california

Question: Doesn’t changing the amount of air available affect the rest of the computer controlled parameters? I’m by no means smart on modern engines, but aren’t they’re set up from the factory to balance power, fuel efficiency, torque curve, using the computer to control fuel, air, spark timing, etc? After installation, is there any follow up maintenance like computer/software changes?

Have you tried the Mopar intake with the ramair hood kit ? I've been going back and forth between these trying to decide which one to buy .

In Az we dont get much rain BUT when we do everything floods. I have always had a concern with aftermarket air intakes because when you have water a foot up on your hood they suck water. I have put a gopro in the bottom of my air box to see how much water actually went in my air box. No water at all came in. I put the gopro in my engine bay and as long as you keep moving forward the engine bay has a big air pocket that doesn't allow water over your engine again if you keep moving once you stop it fills up. My concern is those drip holes wouldn't drain water fast enough and you would start sucking water down your engine. I would be concerned about rain because those drain holes are very small and the suction of the intake is much stronger than the rain being pushed and pulled up and your filter will be soaked. This is my concern and opinion.

Dude what a Gem of a channel to find, great videos Now what to do with the empty spot ;)

Doesn't that block the top half of the radiator. In the summer wouldn't this brings up engine heat in city driving especially in southern states. I do like the way it looks just wondering?

Debating on which CAI to go with. What kind of gains can I expect with this paired with your TB

Matt, Thanks for the video, big fan of Moe's. The one question I have after watching the video is how far down does the wing hang, have you seen overheating or higher temps due to blocking the the Radiator?

Do you make one for 2500 6.4
