Default Hit or miss?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/25679/s4grill.jpg"></center><p>Hey all, I just finished these last night- I took my fogs out and the plastic grill and replaced it with this mesh- its only temporary (unless yall think it looks good) I wanted to see if there was an actual difference in performance with the ICs free- let me know what you think. (sorry about the poor picture)

Default Waste 'o' performance time. Looks better though IMHO.

I would do to if I did not use my driving lights so much. Think Mike01S4 pretty conclusively proved that there is little/no diff in int temps while driving with the lights in place... and when you're stationary doesn't matter which grille you have I think.

Default I did the same on my black. I like it alot....

IC breath better and I moved my fogs to a less obstuctive location. But this is only Temp. My next mod is an RS4 bumper because mine has a huge *** crack in it.

Default for more flow, its not the intake side of the IC that needs work, its the exhaust side.

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/3330/rs4bumper1.jpg"></center><p>IMO there is just too much restriction behind the ICs in our S4s, The RS4 has a much better system for pulling air through the ICs.
