Engine 850: B5234T/2.3/20v/T5: - New exhaust at last! - Page 2

Might be worth remembering it can take a garage 2hrs to fit with the use of a 4 poster lift. I would hate for you to get one home and be stuck trying to fit it.

In the big scheme of things £400 for a Volvo supplied exhaust doesn't seem bad.

Still waiting to see if fuel economy is improved.

Thanks, Braydons have quoted me £185 +vat for an OE 'from cat back' system.

Yes fitting may be a snag. I fitted my 240 one a few years back, just with it being on ramps.

Stupidly I have'nt thought about the 850 being harder & of course it could well be.

Having said that, a local garage will fit customer supplied parts at a slightly higher labour rate, maybe I should sound them out for exhaust fitting!

Sorry to dig up an old post, but this is relevant to me - my 850 T5 is making a massive phut phutting, seems the flexible section has split.

Did ATS charge you £ 200 for the whole thing and fitting?! or for the cat/front section and fitting? for either section including fitting that seems like an incredible deal.

It would be good to know, as I'm going to go in and ask for the same treatment if so.

Cheers.
