Vararam Air Grabber Install

[map246]

Based on discussion I have read in some of these forum posts, followed by several reviews and dyno testing results, I installed the Vararam Air Grabber on my new to me 2020 Sport. Install was quick and easy.

My very official "seat of the pants" dyno tells me it is more snappy and responsive, as well as improved acceleration. I havent had it installed long enough to see if there is any of the claimed improvements in fuel consumption. Several of you posted your "after" pics. Some of you cut the radiator shroud, and I saw a few that put spacers between the shroud and the Air Grabber ramp. I like the finished look of the shroud being left on, and I like the RAM showing on the shroud. So I am trying to figure out what you would use for the spacers. I initially left the shroud on, but took it off because it looked like there was not enough room for proper air flow.

Any thoughts, guidance is appreciated.

I never put my shroud back on either.

I installed mine two weeks ago and noticed the RPM's bounce up alittle when letting off the gas. I checked everything for a possible vacuum leak or whatever. But everything was installed correctly. Not a big deal but curious if others experience this.

I forgot I used these threaded rubber spacers under the RAM shroud.
