Looks good! Just curious, what did you use for the lower grilles to match the RS4 grille?

Looks like you need an alignment...

Nice job on the install. I am curious (and a bit skeptical) to see if the dropped PSI is worth the lowered IATs. Keep us posted!

yeah dude, it's always nice to be debt free...lol

I was thinking about getting another car, but instead i decided to just toss any "extra" cash into the audi....

but it would definitely make sense if you are going the BAT route and your car is going to be down for a couple months...

the material that was used is just standard mesh, you could prolly pick it up at home depot...

I put mine through a roller to round it, then I had my friends dad powder coat it black...

and its held on with zip ties....nothin special

the car was aligned less than a month ago...the pic that you posted is of the car jacked up...the wheel is about 4" off the ground...

psi drop is normal and should be expected...although I am not sure how well I trust my splitter...I am going to toss my 710n back on to see if there is a noticeable difference...

no matter what i needed lower IAT's yo run pc-16...psi drop was unavoidable for me...and should be well worth it in the long run...plus I am going to be running a n75 race valve....which should raise me back up one to 2 psi anyways....

I was looking more at the tire. It looks unevenly worn.
