1. Exhaust tips do not provide power nor will they provide sound.

2. You at least at the very least need a performance muffler. These can be found on many sites and if you just GOOGLE it you will find them. However your in a C70 thusly your turboed. I would suggest running a Free Flowing Straight Throught design muffler such as a BORLA and or Magnaflow.

3. Or you can do a full catback system. And depending on what year your C70 is there are some options available for you. However until I know what year your C70 is I cannot help you. All I can do is direct you to this thread right here, https://volvoforums.com/m_38606/tm.htm
and this link here.

Any good performance muffler will most likely be too big for the stock piping. You might as well upgrade your entire exhaust system w/ larger piping. That will relieve backpressure for the turbo, and you'll gain a few horses.

1. I recommend that you do a full catback system.

2. I recommend that you search this forum for links to the aftermarket websites. There you will be able to search the different catback system available for your C70.

3. Or have a local muffler shop make you a mandrel bent 2.5" catback system with a Free Flowing Straight Through Design muffler such as a BORLA and or Magnaflow also a Hi-Flow CAT as well.

so yeah, i've been doin a lot of searching and i dont think i wanna do a full catback system or anything concerning a full exhaust upgrade due to the moneyzzz.... but i just want a decent muffler that will fit on the C70... cuz im installing a short shifter, BOV, cool air intake and a couple ofther small thing along with the muffler so im trying to stay on a budget...

1. You wont get any performance from just a muffler.

2. You could have a local muffler shop make you a system for like $325 but that will probably be crush bent and you could probably have a mandrel bent system made for $400-$500.

3. I would suggest holding off on the exhaust till you can afford it. You wont just be pleased with a muffler I can tell you that.

4. If you got to have a muffler then just search BORLA and Magnaflow and any other straight through design muffler and search for one that will fit your piping. Which is between 2.25"-2.5" around.

what kind of BORLA exhaust would you suggest? my buddy put one in his 944 turbo and it sounds pretty good but i think i might want something that sounds a little deeper than what he has....

I don't know. That is something for you to decide. Not to mention that the exhaust note (tone) will be totally different then a 4cyl, 6cyl, 8cyl, 10cyl, 12 cyl engine. Because we have 5 cylinders which is not very common. So just pick one you will be happy with any of them I am sure. Since you don't seem like you want to save the money up for something that will sound good and give you some performance.

Try this one, http://www.borla.com/products/product_multi_detail.aspx?cat=2&type=43&de sc=Universal+Mufflers%2c+Tubing+%26+Hardware|Turbo +Mufflers

I would measure your stock piping before you purchase. I believe stock piping is 2.25" (2 1/4").

Or this model.
