Exhausts on cars aren't loud anyway, thats why they make aftermarket ones. If it's aftermarket ones you're talking about, you'll never know until you hear it. Every exhaust is different...

Remember, subtle is the key with a Volvo... Anything that sounds like a Jumbo Jet/Bus should be avoided.

And where can you get modded Volvo exhausts I'm trying to get one for my 745 GLT 16V and getting no joy?
