Title: Is it a Carbonio Intake??!!?
Post by: Spadds on October 06, 2013, 05:46:22 pm

Got it off flea bay, fitted it yesterday. I already had a k and n panel filter, so it was just a matter of removing the stock intake.  Seems to make car smoother and a bit better mid range at 50-70 mph.

Question is, is it a carbonio???!!! No logo, and metal brackets.  I note new items have integrated support brackets.  This could be an early system?? :rolleye:

Answers welcomed!!   :star:

That intake is very generic and there are three or four companies that sell them. Usually if it has a decent quality weave and a drain hole underneath then all is good. :smiley:

Yes it is. It's an early version and the Carbonio logo was in the box as a sticker. I owned one exactly like this 5 years ago.
