manifold swap

i was reading something that said they swapped out a s5 intake and put it onto his s4. http://homepage.mac.com/carldavis/intake.html has anybody done this swap into there s4? was it worth the trouble?

Plenty of people have, including me. Yes, it's worth it.

I just recently swapped a complete s5 intake,front cover,wiring harness, and injectors, on to a streetported s4 keg. Runs really good and got an extra 1k in rpm.

The s5 n/a intake manifolds are vastly superior to the earlier s4 and s3 6 port intakes due to the variable runner design. The Renesis intakes are much better still, but you can't swap them.
