I have RS4s on 2+, which is 1 + DPs and Exhaust.They're a nice mod but ERs or AWEs SMICs are better.
Twice as good? Probably not but many have posted graphs of IATs and you can see the difference for yourself. STFA

AWE ICs on stage 2 here, and they're great. Good prep for stage 3 later on and...
maybe it was psychological, but I could swear I saw an extra pound of boost on the gauge and the car felt snappier to the butt dyno after I put them in.

If you live in a hot climate or do a lot of stop and go, then do it. ICs help keep power rather than
loosing it to heat soak. You don't really get an increase in horsepower but can optimize the power you have.

IAT is only part of the equation, I have still yet to see someone post the pressure drop with ERs
not saying they are bad ICs at all, I would just like to see that data as well. It is something that should be taken into account.
