Just added a Vararam and axle back exhaust through Kooks. Every easy install which took a total of 2.5 hours (Vararam directions state that you should disconnect the negative side of the battery for 2 hours). After rapping 100 miles per the directions I've notice a huge difference in performance while in the inner city and a greater difference on the highway! I highly recommend these two products. If you have any questions just ask.

Great review! Sounds like an awesome mod!

I'm looking at the Vararam system as well. I have an unrelated question. Are the silver lug nuts real or are they just caps? I want to remove my rear wheels to paint the calipers but don't want to screw up the lug nuts if they are just covers. Also, I haven't been able to find a list of compatable Bluetooth phones for the G8. The GM site lists only phones for the G5, Solstice and Torrent.

Thanks,

That's probably because they did not actually put the bluetooth in the car. Just the users manual. There were talks about the mid 09's having them installed, but I take it from the latest news about the G8 and Pontiac that the G8 will never see the built in Bluetooth. Unless you buy an after market system.

Mine has BT but it keeps disconnecting after about five minutes of talking. Doesn't hang up the phone just the BT.
