Default C5 Brakes
I have a 2003 C5 with a4 tranny can I install the Z06 calipers and intake manifold on my car? Also will the intake manifold make that much difference?

Your C5 has the same intake as a Z06, and the brake Calipers are the same except for the red paint.

The Z06 calipers are the same as yours, except they are powder coated red. As for the intake don't bother. The Z06 intake is a nice upgrade for the 97-00 cars. Starting in '01 all LSx engines had the same intake.

You're looking at $1000 for some red paint!
