In this video I install the Vararam Air intake kit on my 2020 Ram Rebel. Installation was extremely easy. The kit looks great and sounds amazing. Here's a link to the intake on Vararam's page, definitely check them out!

This setup should make more power than any other since airflow loves to take a direct line. Would be nice to see numbers back up the theory! Also it looks great!

Super cool look. Not sure I'm a big fan of no more positive crankcase ventilation. The slight vacuum does help maintain good piston ring seal and oil ring control.

Blocks oil fill, keep in mind heat rises from engine heat soaking bottom of intake and that front deflector plate blocks top fins of radiator from air flow. Another thing to add from my experience is not the best seal between hood to rubber gasket they provide. It is sealing on fiberglass hood insulator so sucking alot of heat from top of hood side as well. Looks nice but i feel i will be replacing

Best video of install and details surrounding it that I've watched pertaining to this intake system! There is a considerable difference when you accelerated between stock and after market. It was quieter with the new intake when it was idling, but when you gave it gas, it growled kind of making it into a "sleeper" in some effect with the other additions you've added or will be adding. A larger TB would really maximize it. I have a 2012, so i wonder if my radiator shroud is designed/shaped the same way as yours so i wouldn't have to trim mine either? I watched a video where the owner did cut his. It may even have made it more efficient with that smaller gap between the shroud left untrimmed forcing the air into the receiving plane?! I have a black Ram so I'm going with the Hemi Orange to make it pop with some personality and give it contrast. It looks good on your Rebel yet the black option would also look good too! Thank-you and I'm now a subscriber!

I'm curious - Do you think it would be beneficial to bend the bottom 1 - 2 inches of the piece that goes in front of the radiator up a bit? Would the 'ramp effect' help in deflecting more air towards the filter? Asking because I have a Vararam on order for my 2018 Ram 1500 Express. Should be arriving in a few weeks.

When I heard the sound difference with the intake "Holy Sh*t" actually came out of my mouth! I am looking at ordering a 2021 Laredo Sport edition from the factory and this baby will be going on in orange as soon as I get it home!!! then a cat back, probably not going to do headers, just love the sound. Going to go find out what kind of exhaust you installed now. I hope the link is an affiliate link as I will come back and use it when I am ready to order. EDIT: Link to Vararam is not working. EDIT #2: Just called them to get pricing and info about fitting on a 2021 (they have not had a chance to try it yet on one but will work with me if they have not gotten a hold of one by that point) anyway I name dropped your channel to them :) This thing is so reasonably priced as well!!!

The hockey stick piece was used to prop up the radiator fan shroud so there was enough clearance for air to move up the front flat of the vararam to the filter. Without the “spacer” the fan shroud blocks airflow, hence the reason the instructions recommend cutting the shroud

Give it a few mins. The newer mopar does that while it resets the canbus. It’ll come back in a couple of minutes.

Can someone tell me how this keeps dirt and moisture from entering inside?
@WaterFowler41
@WaterFowler41 3 жыл бұрын
The filter stops the dirt just like your factory intake would and because of where the filter is located, it’s pretty difficult for moisture to make its way to it. However if it does, there are drain holes in the filter pan.

@@WaterFowler41 one other question, have you thought about removing the12" x 1/2" thick piece of plastic on top of the radiator, that the RAM shroud rested on, so that the veraram dropped down and was more even on the front side, instead of having that slight rise?
@WaterFowler41

That would block airflow and impact performance especially on long drives. I personally would run the spacer or trim the shroud

@@WaterFowler41 you talking about airflow to the radiator or to the Veraram? the pc I'm referring to, is --> photos.app.goo.gl/HmJXq5ZVBsnAhpRs7 (screenshot from your video).. I was thinking it should give you more airflow between the shroud and the base of the Veraram..looking at it on my truck, it seems like that pc is only there to keep the shroud from flexing down onto the top of the radiator, and if I put the veraram on, i wouldn't really need it anymore since the shroud would be resting on top of the Veraram itself. just trying to understand everything before i install mine tonight :P

Wouldn’t swapping the OEM intake with this one ultimately affect the warranty, especially since I foresee an overheating issue in your future. Also, that air temp sensor installation looks iffy at best. That being said, good video on the installation and the look is definitely nostalgic.

Any aftermarket part will void a part of your warranty if that part is the reason for a failure. That’s the risk we all take modifying our trucks. That said, I’m not concerned about it. This intake has been around a while and it’s not to much different from Mopars version.

Full transparency, I returned the truck to stock. I had an opportunity to pick up a kayak so it was a clean trade. That said, this is an awesome intake and by far one of the best looking ones on the market. As far as performance I think all aftermarket intakes perform about the same with no tuning. This intake had a different sound compared to the stock and the tube style intakes. Overall I was not disappointed in this intake. Great buy for these hemi's. With Covid hitting at the beginning of the summer, the opportunity to grab a fishing kayak forced my hand.
