Hello Lucien

My exhaust is fine still thank you. That however is on low mileage and only moderate length journeys.

Removing an old exhaust can be a pain. Rusted &c joints to separate. If I DIY'd it nowadays, I'd beg borrow or buy some sort of power cutter.

Good luck whatever you do.

Stephen

I'm thinking of ordering Volvo again from FRF. Cheaper to buy the whole system (downpipe back, no cat) and seems very good value.

With a pair of wheel ramps, is this a simple DIY job, or best done by a garage?

Thanks
Lucien
easy enough to do DIY. If you only want to do it once you could go stainless? https://www.classicswede.co.uk/240_2..._20941590.aspx

Thanks, yes I did think about SS, and had a look at your exhausts. It was tempting, but I decided to stick to OEM mainly for originality and the keep the exhaust note the same.
