Default Prophet and 0700......................

Sup guys! Nice intercoolers. Do you think in the future on our S4's that a company can and will create a y-piping where our stock intercoolers hook up to connect to a regular size front mount intercooler. You know what I mean instead of the intercooler pipes you guys have where there is a connecting pipe on top and bottom which makes your front mount so big. I am thinking if I purchase a RS4 bumper in the future that a want a regular size front mount to fit perfectly. Let me know!

Default Bro

the RS4 bumper will not fit on the S without some hard modifications. The fender flares make the stock RS4 too big to fit.

The reason for not going with a 'add-on' FMIC is because of pressure drop. The stock ICs sustain a huge pressure drop. Eliminating those ICs and going with the full front mount decreases that pressure drop.

Default my fmic will fit behind the RS4 style bumper and offers

the advantage of improved efficiency with very little pressure drop(NO LAG), the design behind 0070's is a good idea, but far from correct.

Mine is for sale, let me know.

True enough...but I think what I say is true for a general statement.

Default What? RS4 front bumper a hard modification? NOT!

I'm in the middle of doing it with O.E. Audi RS4 parts, and the front bumper/fenders install couldn't be simpler or more straight forward.

As we speak, they are being welded and leaded.
