lol, if you look at the 4th image on top you'll see the flange on the y-pipe to the cat on the passenger side is tilted in a certain degree. i didn't know it was different until i bought the cats for the RWD 4 years ago and put them on and was like... WTF!!! lol.

Having the Stillen gen 2 installed today.

^^ Be sure to turn it right-side-up before installing on the Volvo. haha, j/k...

If that's your garage, you should DIY.

If this was one of those body builder forums I would rep you Swivel. That ^^ was funny.

LOL thanks guys. Had the parts installed yesterday and I think it sounds great. It's just a little louder than stock and it has a nice sound when the car first starts up. I wanted to DIY (my buddy has an A/C garage) but I was talking to my brother and he was like "don't install it yourself! You're going to be picking up exhaust pieces off the side of the road!" so I got paranoid. Besides, the car needed some work so I took it to the stealer. New compression rods, belts, alignment and an oil change. Rides like new now, I thought I needed new struts or something.

I think it will work as a speeding deterrent too. I have to slow down when it gets too loud!

I'll post a pic when I get some time.

I do have some mods planned for the Volvo but they will be strictly cosmetic.

will a 05 coupe midpipe fit on a 04 sedan?

^ yes



The 05 OEM Muffler and the HKS, They sound very similar but the HKS sounds deeper and when just revving, and under load, the HKS is pure sex.


Edit: I just found out with cheap speakers they might sounds very similar, but if you have decent headphones through them on, the difference should be clear.

Thank you, that is the video I have been wanting to see for well over a year.. Nice vid

+1, nice comparo. Whose cars are those?

Here are the vids of mine with the Hks and Coupe mid.

I know it seems like a weird questions, but I can't really tell from exhuast videos. Does this combo make a big difference? Is it alot louder? I'm thinking about this combo, but feel like i may be to close to stock sounding. What do you think? compared to stock exhaust?

It is a litle louder than stock. More of a deep tone than any thing else though.

mine and Wannabe6MT, I wish there was less noise in the background lol, but we did this in the middle of downtown miami!

Has any one posted a clip of the Motordyne VQ exhaust. I am seriously considering buying the entire Cat back system.

I'll have to make one of my custom borla.
