CAI & RAM intake legal?

[Gio]

Are cai and ram intakes legal for p plate drivers in nsw as long as the pod isnt exposed in the engine bay?

Thanks. Chris.

They are illegal here in perth if you dont have a permit

[kazam]

y wouldnt the SRI and CAI be legal??? and the only thing you could get defected for is exposed pod, which with CAI u dont have that problem neway.

because its a performance mod

In NSW, that will be legal if the intake covered from outside (means not HKS, Trust, K.N Pod) unless its got a air box.

Oh im so ill be safe, im getting a CAI

When you guys say "illegal", you are referring to it's roadworthiness...

The question i assume is "is it legal for a p-plater?"
I am assuming that if the law is the same as Vic, then it states no performance enhancing engine mods... I leave the interpretation open on that, but i would say don't tempt them, coz you will get done for anything nowadays and the fines are HUGE.
I would look into a K&N replacement filter element for a bit more breathability!

fark, yeah so lame, p platers can drive these shitty unsafe holdens with however much kw's they have on them and we cant put an aftermarket filter on our 4cyl hatch? wtf.

CAI IS NOT LEGAL with either According to Department of Environment & Climate Change (New EPA) despite RTA saying OK to CAI.

I know coz i've got my Noise/Emissions/Anti-Tampering Inspection this saturday...

lol iam confused.

hahaha aint that the truth, i saw a p plater down the goldie drifting in his stock white falcon done 2 fishies then smashed up the curb. i couldnt help but laugh. then almost got collected by the traffic when retrieving his hubcap lol

isnt it only illegal if it is exposed, like next to the battery and such lalala catch fire, thats what i heard on the honda cruise anywayz.

And depending on how short your SRI is it would be exposed either way would it not??

For those unknowing, this is about the rule that P platers can't have performance modified vehicles- it's not about roadworthiness/sound levels/etc..

I think it's one of those things which you wouldn't get done for, but if you had attracted attention for something else and the cops needed to do you for something- then they would use it.
