Overview

The Vararam VR-B2 is a ram air intake system designed to improve the performance of your C5 Corvette. It replaces the restrictive stock air box to allow for increased airflow. The system forces in air as soon as the vehicle moves and can create boost pressure.
Show original supplier description
The Vararam VR-B2 Ram Air Intake System is engineered to significantly enhance the performance of your 1997-2004 C5 Corvette by replacing the restrictive factory air box. This easy-to-install package is designed to out-flow the stock setup, potentially yielding up to 40 additional horsepower and increasing top speed by 8-10 mph. The system actively forces air into the engine as the vehicle moves and can even generate boost pressure, providing immediate performance benefits without requiring cutting or drilling. The latest evolution of the VR-B2 system features several key advancements. The upper air box has been retooled with an increased filter flange area to properly enclose the new cotton gauze filter. A perimeter gasket creates an airtight seal, preventing air leakage, and the box material is now more impact-absorbent. Installation is made simpler with updated instructions, including helpful hints, shortcuts, and clear, large pictures. This intake is specifically designed for the 1997-2004 C5 Corvette. It includes the right and left lower ram tubes, air filter, upper air box, and all necessary installation hardware. The system also features a specially designed water trough to help dissipate incoming water and is noted to increase throttle response, acceleration, and gas mileage by 1-3 MPG. The VR-B2 aims for performance gains under the curve, meaning power and torque are developed more effectively during acceleration and shift recovery, rather than solely focusing on peak numbers on a static dyno. Independent testing by Cartek and C5 Super Tuner shootout winner Danny Pop showed the VR-B2 producing 2-4 more rear wheel horsepower than competitors at peak and 5-10 Hp more at 5000 Rpm on stock and modified cars.
