That's too bad =( The top hoses are easy, just two reducing 90 degree
elbows with a coupling in the middle.
The bottom ones are the tricky ones.
I ended up using a reducer right out of the lower pipe, then a 45 a short length of pipe and then a coupling IIRC.

so you have done this?
maybe you have worked it out for me.
do you know what size hoses those all were? did you use samcos or some other kind?
If I can easily rig up something I would love to head down this RS6 path.

Yes, I have this on my allroad now. Let me dig through my emails, and find
the receipt for the hoses.
IIRC everything was ~$225 for the hoses.
You can also use the standard RS6 mounting brackets, and like morgan said just mount them high.
Some moving/ tweaking of the AC line may be needed.

IMHO, the RS6's are second only to the AWE but at almost 1/2 the cost.
I think that they may be pretty darn close though.
Here is my parts list from an email that I sent to someone about them.
I purchased everything from www.siliconeintakes.com
Products
1 x 2.0" Silicone 2' Straight Hose, Black $44.99 *(not needed)*
2 x Silicone Reducer, 3.0" to 2.0" - Black $25.98
2 x Silicone Reducer, 90° bend - 2.5" to 2.25" - Black $39.98
2 x Silicone Reducer, 90° bend - 3.0" to 2.5" - Black $39.98
2 x Stainless Steel Joiner, 2.5" $11.98
4 x T-Bolt Clamp for 3.0" Silicone Parts $10.40
4 x T-Bolt Clamp for 2.5" Silicone Parts $10.40
14 x T-Bolt Clamp for 2.0" Silicone Parts $36.40
I didn't need the 2' piece of 2" straight hose, but I bought it just in case I needed it.
The intercoolers have 3" inlets and outlets. For the top side that flows into the intake I went with a 3" to 2-1/2" reducing 90 and then I went with a 2-1/2" to 2-1/4" reducing 90 since I have the APR bi-pipe which is 2-1/4". I can't remember if the factory bi-pipe is 2-1/4" or 2" so I would check that out before ordering the reducers. I also bought the 2-1/2" stainless steel joiners to couple the two reducing 90's together.
For the bottom I went with a 3" to 2" reducer. From here I ended up going with a 45 on the pass. side, so add that to the above list.
I am also going to see if the factory reducing hoses will make the bottom install any easier, as well as installing the front and rear RS6 air shrouds and fender liners.

I wish I had a comparison of AWE vs. the RS6. The AWE's are slightly larger in
area than the RS6's.
If you want I can try to snap some pics this weekend. I am out of town all week next week.
I think that this covers everything, but I feel like I am forgeting something for the bottom hoses.
