Well after all the recent palava...... I finally decided to 'go for it'

Image

Decided 6 years and 3 Controle Techniques 'advising' it was due plus recently needing to 'plug' it before the last test that 'it was time' :lol:

Jetex Stainless Chromium Steel is this. 'Cat back' system, a little under £400 delivered. I tried to go OE Volvo with my 'discount' but that came in at nearer £700 :roll:

Not fitted yet....... will be soon tho'.... wonder how much it will 'alter' that luverly 5-pot burble :?:

Have you got flashing blue lights under the car too? ;)
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Have you got a sub wired up to the 8 track?
the only Volvos I have worked on in the last few years are rated to carry about 44 tons and have much bigger exhausts than that. A couple of the drivers own "modified" cars that have even bigger exhausts. One of them has more tail pipes than his engine has cylinders which always makes me giggle.

:D hehe.
It is, apparently their custom made for N/A 850's. Yes it is smaller than the OE, but only the silencers, as they are 'straight through' . The OE Lenin the centre is mahoosive! Bore is the same.

One good thing about these is that they have an 'extra' join , so fitting will be easier. Will probs need to cut the old one to untangle it!
