Default The Price is decent.

well new ones are what 1200 bucks? so ya it sounds good but from what other people post on here is that rs4 are not worth the money at all, as far as performance. i have no person experence with any aftermarket ic so i cant voice an opinion. but if rs4 ic suck then why not just buy ebay SMIC for like 330? i say that because it seems like your trying to save a buck, arnt we all? haha

RS4's are a waste of money, even at that price. They are all of 6% bigger than stock.

There is always at least one tool.

Reason for asking is i'm only running k03's with a giac-x chip and the factory plastic end caps are leaking... So since the rs4 are all aluminum, and factory, which i'm always a fan of, was just seeing what other people are getting them for. If its for the rs4 it can't be that bad. Looks like more surface area even though they are only 6% bigger.

Just don't know if i really need AWE-Intercoolers, unless you think they are going to improve my cars performance that much more over rs4 intercoolers with k03 turbos?
