Default Full 3" s/s system

As above.

As it looks as if I may be doing more miles in the Volvo, the custom 3" system is really needing to go. Cost £600 all in (including second silencer) last year and had brand new 200 cell cat welded in in March for MOT this year. Has bosses for pre and post cat lambda's. Has a wider smoother takeoff at turbo.

Only reason for selling is that in all honesty, it's more suited to a track car and not a road car - no laughing Tony please!!!

Done less than 2000 miles and has all relevant brackets and rubbers to fit P1 or P1.5 S40's. Not sure about P2. Looking for £250 or reasonable offer, or would swap for full std T4 system, plus cash. Pics are in post #19 of thread below;

Cheers

Grant

LOL!!! Didn't say it was going to be standard when it went on the car Rick!!! Just that I will start with a std system, change outlet from turbo, amend from cat to rear box, retain rear box and have something that looks standard... And is a bit quieter... 19T stays.

It would not be a good idea to using stock DP with 19t.

See post above. It is being modified... Aim is to butcher system and use cat and rear box from standard. Failing that, I'll buy a 63mm cat and build into system with 63mm pipework all through and standard rear box.

Cheers Tony - thought I'd try it on here first, solely as whenever I have looked at exhaust parts, I've never seen a performance system for a T4 on ebay, other than the ubiquitous (universal sports silencers lol)!! Don't want to sell but if I do use it more, need something a bit more "refined"!

PS: Appreciate the no laughing - "Honestly"!!!!
