Default Nismo Intake - Street Use?

The Nismo Website's description of the Nismo S Tune intake says the intake is "not for street use".

What does this mean? Is it not street legal or make the car unbearably loud? I already purchased the part before I noticed the language on the part description. It's on it's way, I hope I didn't just waste $250.

Anyone else have this intake? Your comments will be appreciated.

If all else fails, contact them and say you didn't see that part and ask if you could get a refund. I am sure they will.

This is just Nismo's slogan for r-tune parts (so they can sell it with no warranty). Doesn't add any noise...no more than the JWT popcharger. No biggie........

I believe it all has to do with emissions. Anything related to intake, exhaust, fuel supply, etc. MAY have an effect on emissions is given that label. Manufacturers can't sell stuff for street use that MAY effect emissions - hence the warning.

I have the Nismo Intake, put on by the Nissan dealer and they said it was warranty covered. I have the Nismo Headers and Exhaust. All has warranty coverage. Shouldn't be a problem.

nismo intakes are not carb legal, and that's what it means by not for street use.
