Default 2002 AUDI A6 3.0 NEED HELP!!!

Hey,
I have a 2002 Audi A6 3.0.... I should have thought when i got it that maybe getting the 2.7t would be a better idea considering i might want to mod my car.

I have been looking everywhere for a new exhaust and chip and cold air intake for my car to add some HP. Anywhere know where i can find these?

Default Try using the search function with the words "exhaust 3.0" and limit the search to this forum.

210 hits. Not all will applicable, but I'm sure you will find some useful tidbits

Default yarr!

welcome, the 3.0 is a bit weak for power hungry people, but it's still a good engine. but if you want to mod, your options are limited and there are very few pre-done mods. I'd suggest looking into swapping your mufflers with some magnaflows, and putting sway bars on the car (H-sport makes a good set). beyond that, I'm not aware of much. by the way, what area are you located in? there may be a local that might be willing to help/talk in person. we do have a great group here.

Default as said earlier, N/A car, even if you were able to gain 5-7 hp at the top end, you woudl loose torqu

while modding and opeining air intake / Exhaust.
Spend the same amount of money on suspension and make it go faste rin turns, wayyyy better than straight line speed

Default Re: yarr!

i go to school in Rochester, NY. and i live in Chappaqua, NY in the summer i guess you can say. Anyone know anything near those areas? would love to add some HP to my car. Also, mufflers wouldn't add power would they? I mean id love to get 25+ HP in the car for under $1,500.
