Kudos for spending the money and taking the time! 👍🏻 People don’t understand dyno time isn’t free!

Thank you for making the video I watched all 3 they're definitely informative

Glad to see another Nevadan doing work on their Rebel

Be interested to see how the Mopar RamAir compares. Thanks for sharing.

Vararam works best while driving. A dyno won’t show its true gains. Also the small dip in the dyno graph is your secondaries in your intake manifold opening.

Great vid man, I know I'm late to the show. I love the look of the Vararam, but I feel that I could fabricate the filter house long out of some fabricated aluminum "just to make me feel fancy." Anyways if you're wanting some depth and throatyness for cheap. I'd highly recommend the Carven TR series muffler. By itself (3" inlet & outlet) makes a hell of a difference. I couldn't bring myself to drop $1200 on a CatBack, when I could do custom pipes with a performance muffler for similar sounds. Anyways, again thanks for the awesome vid, you did your due diligence to be thorough with both products.

Cool that’s all I need for my daily

I have my engine cover on mine. And I have that front radiator cover on as well.

Based on my experience, on my ram to maximize afe intake performance i recommend to add an air scoop duct on the grill to be directed to the factory intake inlet based on my ar reading the truck goes little bet lean

Did you see any difference on mpg

Great video thanks! I'm wondering if this will work if you have the 5.7 with eTorque? Fitment issues?

I was able to reinstall the engine cover after removing the vent hose. Doesn’t interfere with the vararam at all.

I'll second what Maxi Built says, the Vaaram comes alive around 45-60MPH and gets a little better up to 100. if you take the time to get a good tune with the Vararam ,have the tuner incress Low RPM enable and Mid RPM Disaable it's like adding another 25HP.

I have a 2016 ram rebel. Been driving it for a total of nine days. I just installed my vararm this morning and drove from Mass to New York. The difference in power and torque was felt immediately. I thought i was just gawking over the new item but nope this thing is for real

I would be curious to know what the pressure (Ram Air) and temperature (Cold Air) is inside the box at a specific speed, say 60MPH and at operating temperature. Test between both factory air box and Vararam box.

Here is my Number4 concern, and a number 5 fix it. 4)The reason for changing the assembly- regardless of brand - is to increase some HP and improve MPG. no matter what the gain - how many square inches of A/C condenser and Radiator Have you blocked off? I think that alone would cause me to skip this system. It to me looks like 6 inches or so that it drops down times the width ( approx. 24?) = 144 square .inches? A/C & Cooling system works harder while towing for some HP? The K&N 63 Series is rated to ad 15HP. Does It - I do not know, but it will not possibly cause heat issues, or at the least, added stress to two other systems. 5) simply take the cosmetic cover and trim it to clear, to clear the Ram air system. Great video though. Now that I saw it installed I will finish the video to see what happens. If you did not gain the 15HP K&N Here I come Sorry had to come back. There should be a large fan blower at the grill!!!! HOOD CLOSED!!!!! With the hood open you ARE NOT testing it as it would be used, Air being forced through grill to throttle body. It is just grabbing the air even from above the engine , over the fenders ETC. Stock system done the same way.

Do the magnaflow street series catback exhaust, dyno then tune after . Would live to see the results 👌🏼

I would really like to see what the s&b does.. I heard good things about them... vararam is a dirt collector I had one

How changing the oil does not look like much room ?

you can put the front cover back on , I did with my 22 Rebel

Do you have clear access to the oil spout, or do you have to remove this when you’re doing an oil change?

Well I would take this one at the price it’s going for compared to the mopar version, which is twice as much. And that’s why people buy this one.

As much as i love the old school simplicity of the design and the type of performance it seems to put out.... The fit and finish/quality just doesn't scream $400 to me 🤷🏽‍♂️

Did you do any of these tests on the same day? If not test results are seriously skewed

Question I’m in a snow state can I still use this

What about changing the muffler too?

5% increases in peak hp and 7% peak tq.

You have to keep in mind that when the truck is going down the road you start getting a slight positive pressure that you're not getting on the dyno.

Your hood seal still on the truck?

How did you let it stay in gear ?

"spark knock is common on an intake without a tune". "It's a bit hotter today". This is hard to hear lol. SAE correction corrects for weather on the dyno and should be used at all times. The ram is speed density airflow modeling so your fuel calculations are unaffected by the intake. It's a ram air, you cannot simulate air speed on basic chassis dyno. The only way to test this intake is to buy a dragy and do 3 runs on the stock intake and then an hour later do 3 runs again 60-100 and compare and hope wind speed and air direction and temperature is all negligible.

😂 I saw your LA hat. I was like theu won't like that cai with our smog laws, lol 😊

Good but you should have closed the hood to simulate highway operation.

Could you put it on a v6

We need g8 content !!

testing all wrong hood open no fans in front of the truck. it's designed to work with the hood shut and air getting rammed into grill. I do not get this test?

So, you need to add fuel then.

Haven't heard of this works with the radiator shutters ? I have the shutters will it still work?

Are those dyno numbers corrected 317whp with just an intake seems a tad high. Overall good video though props for using an actual dyno and not just butt dyno lol

The truck is not moving. No air is being rammed into the intake stationary

You can't test this air grabber unless it's pulling the outside air force when you are driving you hit 50mph it makes an big difference as it pulls in more air

Didn't read the other comments but what the dyno can't produce is running down the road is where it works,I don't waste money on dynos I go to the drag strip,almost 2 tenths comparing da and all that v Ararat wins

They said HP... not RWHP....

The version i saw of the vararam had a replacement front cover with it to replace that front one. Also why are they dyno testing like this is a racecar? Its a truck. You aren’t going to get the best numbers at 100 mph.

Why the cold start? Did you think you was gonna make the cat back guys jealous? Lol jk.

😂😂😂

It should show a print all the way around to show that its seated properly, yours is not, You are definitely sucking up hot engine air

So nothing

RAM AIR FLOW IS 100% BETTER…..

If you care THAT much about plastic engine covers under the hood, you probably shouldn't own a truck.
