That's what I'm saying man, it's the area. Saying "oh you wont get pulled over looking stock" is just plain BS. It's a matter of time, unless you're out west or north. Come live out east and you'll see what I'm talking about. You'll be f**ked in the ass, I guarantee.
In saying that you can mod legally but really, what are your options? FMIC or POD, No ECU, no boost, no turbo change....whoopy do!
I had my kicker panel pulled off to check my ECU by the TMU, they are THAT thorough!! I'd swapped the PFC plate for the stock Nissan cover plate luckily.
