No, if your not going beyond RS2 what is the point unless you track the car 
often but I see the slippery slop and if some of you are like me you start with 
RS2 and Five turbo's later you find your match and hopefully you made the 
right choice on the FMIC the first time.

Yes I get it and no if your not going to cut slits what's the point but yes 
it still will give you better flow even without slits.
