Do tell more, did you have to get new hoses or did the stock hoses...
work fine? How much cutting did you have to do? What about the shrouds. Did you re-use the ones that came with the car. Thanks

yes you have to get the hose kit. i was lucky enough to buy the rs4
shrouds with them. the cutting is the most annoying part. the cutting to the bumper is small, most of the cutting will take place around the ic's. email me if you have any more questions. all in all it is a bitch of a diy install first time around, but i am glad that i gained that knowledge on how to do. i did my own down pipes last weekend and i don't think i would have had the patience or feel for, without the confidence booster.

Likey very much! Yes, you'll need new hoses.. APR hose kit fits the best per my installer vs..
others.. More cutting than AWE's but to me, cutting is cutting, regardless whether 1" or 5" or whatever.. After searching/reading, I decided to go with RS4 shrouds, as there's debate about flow issues with stock shrouds. $$ wise, you'll end up paying virtually the same for parts + labor.
You won't have any regrets with either RS4 or AWE.. I just had mine installed last week and to me, very noticeable difference..
