Do you still have this? If so I'll take it @30

The carriers look right, they are the correct ones for the S4/S5 brakes. However, I'm fairly sure the standard A4 rear calipers will not fit on them, because they were initially designed for use with single solid brake discs, rather than the vented discs on the S4 which are significantly...

Cheers Karl, unfortunately I'll keep the DPF in place so mine will never sound as meaty. Did you have any issues with the muffler packing? Is the rockwool still in place after a few years/miles? @TimberVD - that looks like a 2" 90 degree pipe, is that right?

Oh I am very grateful, it's always good to have different options and what you're suggesting is significantly more straightforward and cheaper! I think that's what forums are all about, often there's more than one approach and what you're suggesting is very sound indeed. If it's not helpful in...

Cheers for the pictures, looks exactly as I imagined it. The car will be 10 years old soon, I'm definitely no longer concerned about warranty haha. You are correct, unfortunately the moment I start even mentioning hardware mods most of the mainstream insurers will not touch me. I've declared my...

I think I understand what you mean, it does sound like an interesting option as well. Do you get any drone with it? In all honesty I prefer Karl's idea because it would look 100% stock unless you remove the backboxes and look at their tops. I want everything to be as stock looking as possible...

Hi Karl, First of all I must say you have been an excellent source of inspiration with this thread, and one of the main reasons I ended up with a B8 3.0 TDI myself in the end. I was thinking of doing the muffler mod as well (my DPF will stay in place). Just wanted to know how it's holding up...

That I'm afraid I do not know, my knowledge on the B7's is more limited but I'm 99% sure some of the B7 will have it. Most like they are the same as Ford, yeah. There's no doubt on the B8's as all will have it. That being said, the DPF on the 3.0 tend to be quite reliable and not a big area of...

A search based on the part number will confirm that it will fit A4/S4, A5/S5 as well as Audi Q5. So they will certainly be the same width. You can have a look on realoem.me

They bolt right up, I've upgraded mine a few weeks ago based on Karl's build thread. :) Parking brake connector plugs right in, I was also weary of it so decided to rebuild the second hand rear calipers before fitting them. Personally I don't think it's overkill, the 3.0 TDI is quite a heavy...

If you're looking at A4's then all the B8's (the 240bhp version and "newer shape") will have DPF. I think the stopped making B7's in early 2008 so all the 08/09's will be B8 - newer shape and with DPF. You might get an old shape 08 (old stock registered late) but fairly rare I should think.

I think that "checker" can be a bit hit and miss, I would be very suprised if a 2006 Golf isn't Euro 4 compliant. You can check the emission standard on the V5C, if it's Euro 4 or higher you are exempt. There are quite a few old petrol cars (2001+) that are exempt, the vast majority of...

They are not interchangeable, your calipers + brackets are designed with a specific disc size in mind. Unfortunately it seems to be an Audi "feature" - there are quite a few variants of parts that won't drill down even if you put in your reg number. Safest way is to get a ruler out and measure...
