im lookin at this setup because of the oktoberfest 10% off on intercoolers sale APR is having. i looked at the fitment and it says a new bumper like the S4 bumper is needed. can you not just cut the stock one to fit the FMIC?
TIA
TIA

Odd, I hate APR's design. I can't understand why they didn't go with a Z-flow style.
All they need to do is flip the one of the end tanks before welding. It makes absolutely no sense to have both the inlet and outlet on the same side for these cars, unless your trying to show off your pipe bending skills. So much more plumbing is required with their style and I would think more air would pass through the core on the inlet/outlet side reducing efficiency.
