i am contemplating between the carbonio short ram and the neuspeed cai. i have read up on it, and people say they love both of them. the guy at the shop out here recommends the neuspeed because he deals with them more. what are your opinions?? i want to get one within the next week but cannot decide between the two....
There are MANY MANY MANY threads about this. But I have a question for you my friend. What year Rabbit do you have?
2007 rabbit
i just finished with the neuspeed on mine and i love it. install was a breeze and the gains are there
just to clarify carbonio makes a CAI cold air intake and neuspeed makes a short ram not the other way around

i have a 2007 as well. carbonio is a CAI ( cold air intake) not short ram. and thats what i have.
carbonio is awesome dude. i love it. i have no complains with it.
plus, if your driving normal...you wont here it. but once u decide to tap your gas pedal....you'll defenitly hear that thing!!!!
i just love sneaking up on people with its sound

good call on the intake, i love the carbonio. I would reccomend for your next mods if you havnt done so already, clear/smoked sidemarkers. eyelids(if you like), debagged, springs/coils/cup. chip,exhaust,headers.

My lug bolts require more torque than your Honda makes
i tried putting my brand new carbonio intake into my 07 rabbit tonight and of course i messed something up... i followed the directions exactly and everything looked perfect until i tried to put the filter on. the carbon fiber tube was only millimeters away from the frame and the filter would not fit on, nor was the filter bracket near the carbon tube... idk wat i did wrong, i guess tomo after school i am going to put the stock intake back on and take it into volkswagen... OOO and my cel went on

Make sure everything is pushed in properly. Particularly, the MAF silicone connectors. It should fit fine inside the hole. For the bracket, I'm not sure which bolt they say to use - but the one I'd use is on the "far" side of that hole, on the outside (fender side) of the hole, very close to the headlight. Bracket goes like this:
