Default They have louvers in their leading faces to allow more airflow thru the intercoolers.
That, and they're an RS6 part we can bolt onto our measley 2.7T.

Easier said than done. Louvers <> cut slots.

Default Don't forget a bit more airflow to the front brakes as well...
more airflow is a good thing, yes???

Default For the price its worth it VS DIY, but the caveat is....
IIRC, us rust belt residence chance Salt getting into the engine bay (unless you want to do the seasonal switcharoo).
