well the fact that autospeed is in business and DUH isnt is a huge reason to get it over the DUH.

Here is a pic of it



there is talk it will also come with an oil cooler that will be mounted in one of the old stock side mount intercooler spots.

No official numbers on it, but ive been told that supposedly it will be like equivlent to 4 rs4 intercoolers.

Dont tell me u were in witness protection scarzie? Did they treat u all rite?

Thanks for putting the pic up again sooks, thats a pretty ugly FMIC. I bet that would almost cook an engine - and i bet u would need the RS4 front end?

Look at the silcone IC hoses rubbing on the bumper support! [:@] Doesnt a FMIC compromise the saftey (airbag sensors etc) on the S4 - thats why none of the 'big' tunning companys have made one?

Well... Why would that one neccesarily cook an engine vs any other front mount?... if anythign i think it would be better as its not as tall still allowing airflow to the radiator.

But as far as them rubbing on the bumper support.. keep in mind that is only the prototype. They are still fine tuning things in it and what not. Yes, that was being put behind an rs4 bumper but i believe they aer making it s4 stock friendly.. otherwise it can only hurt them in terms of sales.

But not sure about the airbag sesors..i suppose it could be.. but i thought it had to do more with overheating as the issue. but im not sure.

So what makes a front mount ugly or "hot" looking..i guess im confused. I dont think one necessarily looks better than the other.. theyre behind a bumper anyways.

I want to see one with better welds and in chrome, no doubt that it is badass in performance. Equivilent of 4 RS4 IC's? Damn.
