also, what type of material is the bumper? i would also try to stay away from molding plastic to the hood. get a good welder/metal worker to modify the hood correctly

thats what I have, a cone filter in my airbox. I really cant tell the difference in sound, maybe I'll try an oem filter again just to see/hear one day... but i do think my turbo sounds are more pronounced than any other a6 2.7t i've heard in nyc...

"you're"

If you're going to violate the TOU and attack each other personally, at least use proper grammar.

ive been on message boards since i was 14 and there's always people that have to have negative input on anything and every thing they can. with that said the kit is a nice kit and me and my shop do very good work. i got the intake because it cleans up the engine bay.
