I would like to get a carbonio cai but i am not sure if they are street legal in georgia or the possible complications. Are the gains in performance worth the possible complications?
It's not exactly nitrous oxide is it? It's just cold air into a legal system.
I believe the only state where this is questionable is California with CARB - I don't recall if it is CARB legal or not. But you don't live in CA, so you're good.

yea the only mods on it is a cat back exhaust and springs everything else is stock
Intake definitely compliments an exhaust well. Carbonio is, in my opinion, the ONLY way to go for an intake.

Any other mods that give some note worthy gains other than an exhaust and a intake?
I am not shure what my next mod should be i want to get more performance out of my rabbit but i want my car to stay reliable and last me a while.
yes any intake without a CARB tag is illegal in the state of California but not sure about any other states. The worse you will get is a $15 fix-it-ticket. Does not count on your record either. just get it signed off.Originally Posted by djwhiplash2001
thanks guys
It will not be illegal in Ga. I have had cai's on all my cars and have had no problems. Go for it and enjoy, it's going to be my next mod after xmas.
I've been puled over on my previous Nissan couple times for speeding. CHP (California Highway Patrol) never even asked to open up the hood. I was running intalke and exhaust. So chances that cop will ask u to open da hood and look for CARB sticker is way lover than chance of being hit by semi truck. Peoples who really want's to do it do it anyway if u curious and affraid - just don't do it..coze otherwise u will crap yr pants every time u will see cops behind u. I dont really think that there is any intakes which is CARB approved for our cars anyway, just keep it stock and smile to every cop u c on da road :D

i didn't want to start a new thread just for this, and i saw it asked here.
"Are the gains in performance worth the possible complications?"
i wanted to know...
A.what complications there were.
b. How often to clean the filter
C. my friend has a k&n intake on his charger and has to tighten it every week, does the carbonio intake require tightening every week?
Sorry if these are noob questions.

There is the risk with some intakes of a CEL - not with the Carbonio. The only complications you could have would come from an improper install.
b. How often to clean the filter
Around ~20K miles
C. my friend has a k&n intake on his charger and has to tighten it every week, does the carbonio intake require tightening every week?
No, and your friend shouldn't have to either. K&N intakes are not the same quality as the beautiful top-grade Carbonio either :D
