Let me have your address and I'll arrange interparcel to come and collect it from you - if you wouldn't mind wrapping it up and chucking a label on it. Is that OK?
Do you want some £ for it and your time?

That’s fine Matt. I will let you know when it is parcelled up and ready for collection mate.
I will take it to the workshop tomorrow and use their degreaser cabinet to give it a good clean.

It’s a stock system.IMVHO all the aftermarket solutions are compromised, either via flow rate or heat management.

It’s stock inlets, sprayed in satin black along with Roose motorsport hoses in cherry red (good match to the RS6 colour), topped off with black mikalor hose clips.

(8 needed cos the don’t make them long enough)
Looks just right. One anal point to consider, the original hoses are accordion, I'm doing the same thing but only securing the hose at the air cleaner end so that any slight movement isn't constrained. I know it's miniscule but the factory ducts are also rubbish and the screw holes to the cross member are already showing signs of tearing.

Good man - msg me your name, address & mobile number and box dimensions/weight and I'll get a courier booked to come and pick it up. Any dates/times I should not book it for, or is anything fine?

You sure you don't want some £ for it?

Yes. The clips aren't very tight and the whole lot can move easily bit enough. I also did the duct screws up first to let the hoses settle into position before nudging the hose clips up a just a little. It's not under any stress, I am sure.

Thank you Matt. Will give it a go over the weekend.
Please let me know what label you want attached to the box.
Also just picked up the new windscreen water deflector from AMD. Will get that fitted sometime soon. Black is going to look nice instead of the now grey one lol.
Ps. If poss a days notice would be good for the courier turning up.
