As stated above, I have them and the graphs on the website are from my car - remap, milltek & gutted pre-cats.
They do make a noticeable difference at my level of tune, but if you are looking at taking your car beyond 500 horses, then a front mount is the way to go.
I personally prefer these over OEM as I get less lag and the car does pull better, both on the road and on paper.
Performance increase/£ is obviously not as good as a simple remap, but there are some significant manufacturing costs involved.
They have never been mated up with an S4 though - they are much wider than even the OEM RS4 IC's.
Hope that helps.
