Default Hey everyone, I have two things i could really use some help on.....please

I have a 2001 2.7t, all the credentials are listed in my sig.

1. When I bought the car, it came with bremo brakes up front which someone just told me are the 4.2 brakes. I was wondering if anyone knew what sizes they are because I wanted to upgrade my brakes.

2. Are there any write-ups on the removal or installation of the downpipes for an A6? I was planning on doing the VAST performance downpipes.

Thanks

Default First, figure out what brakes you have. A pic might help.

if you have brembos, what do you plan to upgrade to? But do you really have them? brembos are NOT 4.2 bakes.

Downpipes, cant say.

Default Do they look like this? If so, they are stock HP2 caliper brakes...

Which came on the 2000-2002 2.7T and 4.2, which were replaced by Audi mid-year 2002, so only on those earlier in that model year.
