I got an email from the guy selling it and he said it is just a short ram with dual heat shields. Do u need dual heatshields? So can't i buy one of the short rams and put a heatsheils on it and get the same results?

You don't need dual heat shields, because you don't need a CAI either.

The stock airbox on the Audi is supposed to be pretty good. However, it you like the looks, then go for it.

If you want the sound, just go for the short ram. Neither are going to give you much HP. Just make sure that you don't over-oil the filter.

indeed! over oiled k&n filters have been known to cause MAF sensor destruction.
