C5 Corvette VaraRam RAM Air Intake - VR-B2 (1997–2004)
For 1997–2004 C5 Corvette owners running the 5.7L LS1 or LS6, the VaraRam VR-B2 is a cold air intake with a ram air design built for stronger airflow, quicker throttle response, and a more aggressive induction feel than the factory intake setup.
It is a smart option for C5 owners who want a bolt-on intake for street or track use without cutting or drilling the car. The VR-B2 also keeps the factory fog lights in place, which makes it especially appealing for owners who want more airflow without changing the look of the front end.
