Ok so i found a post somehwere on some site about Intakes but i want to know what would be some OPTIONS for the S40 T5 2004.5 and up model ....

I know of the...

Typhoon by K&N
Intake Pipe from Evolve
and thats really it ....


Now with that being said i owuld love so more option if anyone knows any....

If not does anyone know which wat would be better way to go ....

 

Drop-in filter (still have stock restrictions though), or Get a cone filter and slap it on the end of the MAF, then build a custom heat sheild. Those will be the cheapest routes.

Also check out EST.

 

what are some good options for cone filters???

 

K&N, Spectre, AEM...etc. The K&N and spectre filters can be found at autozone, but you will have to order the AEM from their site.

K&N and Spectre filters both use oil, and AEM uses a dry flow filter. If you are afraid of over oiling the other filters, then get the Dry flow ones.
You will have to meassure the MAF diameter to help you pick the right filter size (probably a 2 3/4" maybe 3").

As for the heat sheilds....you can whip one up fairly easy with some cardboard and High heat spray paint. Or use Alumi, or other material of you choice.

Here is what I did to mine: https://volvoforums.com/forum/intake-headers-exhaust-21/first-performance-mod-21483/

 

Nice write up !!! i have no idea why i cant find it with out ur link,,,,,

Also are there any sites wth pre made intake pipes ???

 

You mean like the chrome pipes I used? That was all from Spectre at Autozone. my whole intake cost ~$50. There are some guys that have some luck with some universal intake pipe kits on ebay.

Premade....well, like you said, EVOLVE and IPD and EST might.

 

This thread is great nice work !!!


with autozone i seem to have problems finding the intake u used as rhe site now makes u put ur car model in, it limits what u can view

I really am dissapointed that when it come to intake there are really no choices...I guess modin newer modle volvos hasnt taken off yet

Also do u know if the down pipe for the c30 would work with s40 t5

 

Not sure on the downpipe. You can all ways get a quote from a local shop and compare the prices.

 

i was asking as i have a friend who is selling a 3inch down pipe from his c30 to me cheap if it works......

 

From EVOLVEs pics...they look like they mount at the same spots. see if you friend will let you test fit it.

 

Ill have to have him send it to me and post pics of results

 

check out this company called "snobb" they have some really great options

as for a filter i like k&n, drop a square one in your air box, drill a second hole in the box and rout a pope behind your fog light to feed it more air and get one of the pipe from snobb, great stuff!

 

Euro Sport Tuning is where i got mine, expect to pay some decent $ for a decent Air Filter.

You will have to order a K&N from their website, but the Euro Sport ones are made for volvos only, and have an option for a stainless steel mesh one.
