    Carbonio intake

    Hey guys! New around here so this is my first post.

    Have any of you had any experience with the Carbonio CAI? I used to have an Audi, and with those cars Carbonio had a really good product with, sometimes minimal, but overall good results.

    Thanks,

    Juan Luis

    Juan, welcome to the forum. Not familiar with that intake. Plenty of people on this site more knowledgeable than me, though. They'll chime in if they have any insight into this item.

    Thanks guys! I will be posting photos of my imola red sedan as soon as I get a good weather.

    Here is a link to the carbonio intake. I believe they had a legal issue with Dinan regarding Dinan's long tube intake.

    Hmmmm That will work if you have the money. The long tube is the best option as far as CAIs go. And the mounting bracket looks good!

    Looks like a solid intake. I know the Audi guys praise carbonio intakes as I was very close to buying a B7 A4 before I learned about the ZHP.

    Welcome. Make sure you post in the New Members thread if you haven't already done so. I too am not familiar with Carbonio, but it certainly looks good. Will be interested to hear your thoughts if you buy it.
