Answer..... NOBODY...


Reason.... the bolt pattern from s4-s6(third gen) is too far off to be able to make a simple adapter plate like i made for Comitatus.....

the s5-s6 adapter plates use lengthened studs in the S5 LIM and then you have to auger out the 4 front bolt holes in the FD manifold to fit the studs... the S4 pattern is too far off and you would have to cut into the runners on the s6 UIM to get it to work...

HOWEVER... you CAN modify the s4 LIM by drilling out the bolt holes and then installing studs in the ADAPTER, and then bolting the ADAPTER to both the s4 and S6 manifolds...

Upside is that you don't have to modify the FD manifold in any way... Downside is you have to take the s4 manifold off hte car so that you can do a bit of machining to it.
