I dont think its illegal. I mean, theirs certain things that arent allowed, like with smog checks, they said the intake was illegal or just not permitted. But i know the guy personally, So he passed me anyways.

yeah apparently most after market modifications are illegal, such as louder exhausts, HID headlights, any type of extra exterior lighting, all types of stuff.
you can get good chips on ebay....rip offs of dinan or conforto, ect. the only problem is you dont know what is on the chip unless you buy it from the manufacturer.
no. the limiter is placed on your vehicle because it's the peak RPM that the factory would garantee engine parts. Anything above that set RPM - you're on your own. Also it's usually "capped" there because there is a huge power band drop off just beyond that point.
Re: chips - they're a compromise or let you contour your power band to your driving. I bought mine because I wanted a stronger mid range "pull" instead of flattening out and it continues to pull well into the 6k RPMs. OEM chips are generally set for a comfort/performance & drivability curve or a compromise for mileage and city/hwy driving.
