AWE - if you get RS4, don't forget the hose kit

So I hear tell that the AWE dont require cutting and work to make them fit. So I hear anyway.

Default Yes. The amount of cutting required is nearly identical.

I reply to every one of the posts where people say there's no cutting for AWE...Gotta spread the truth. The instructions for both RS4 (APR) and AWE IC install are readily available.

Default The last time I posed the same question I was told go AWE. That the RS4s didnt mount up. That they

were just (hanging by the hoses). I was told the AWE were better. Whats changed? I need to make my mind up soon.

I have installed both. AWE hands down installs cleaner.
