I have an apr chip along with soon to be ariving intercoolers (nice b-day present for myself) , and was just wondering if the software upgrade for stage II is required with the addition of an exhaust and will piggy pipes give me good gains without tweeking the software?

 

catback - 6-8 hp

dp's - 20-30 hp

 

I always wonder, why do people buy rs4 coolers when awe sells better one's?

 

What software do you have now?

No you do not need new software with IC's.
Don't expect to much HP from the IC's.

 

$$$$$ thats why

 

You know by the time you buy the RS4 IC's, RS4 Shrouds, & APR hose kit, it's about the same price as the AWE ones.
If you figure install time, the AWE ones are cheaper.

 

hey..im not saying i did it... just say..some people see it for less money..so they buy it.

 

AWE IC'scome with hose kit?

 

The IC's alone are cheaper.

RS4 IC's $795
APR hose kit $250
RS4 Shrouds $200
That's $1250

I got my AWE IC's for $1250 during the X-mas sale.

The AWE IC's use the factory mounting, and factory hoses.

I'm sure some one can get it all cheaper, but at 90+% of the AWE kit, I'll go with the AWE'S. The AWE kit is suppose to work better then the RS4 ones.

 

well the AWE kit is larger than the rs4 kit so I would assume that would be better off in general. If it is also cheaper then why not go AWE?
