I think the entire exterior of the car is too much. or at least the paint on the bottom. the orange by itself woulda been fine.
BUT as for the exhuast....it ounds like a vroom vroom bike! =D

I agree with the above, the car is just to much. It is like the Euro version of a US Honda Civic and it sounds the same too.

+1 toooo much for me, the term "boy racer" comes to mind. As for the exhaust it sounds like a liquor cycle, that is a moped here in NC.

I remember that video. I saw that a while ago. Yes, overall excessive amounts of everything. It's not a turbo either, I never noticed that. The exhaust is too high pitched.

If I ever met that idiot I'd have to slap him, HARD.

Makes me wanna puke.

It's also obvious from the lack of additional power from his "mods" - a pathetic 15 hp! And the engine bay is lacking a turbo motor (notice the missing intercooler piping).

It's the special edition 850R, though, 850-Ricer that is!

I have seen this a long time ago and grited my teeth watching the whole thing. The car is an absolute embarrassment.

The exhaust is your typical RICER sounding exhaust no matter how money he may have put into it. The fact that it is a N/A and not a turbo reinforces the whole fact.

Yes there are nice N/A Volvo's out there, but your not going to gain much power from a simple exhaust mod or intake mod like he had.

Out of all the other four videos posted of what you may want your exhaust to sound like the last two sound the best IMO. However you have to realize that all four of the video had TURBOED Volvo's in them. 850R, 850 T5R and a V70R in the last two videos.

The question becomes to the OP are you a N/A Volvo or a turboed Volvo? Because even though you can do the same mod with the same style equipment you wont gain as much from the one as you will the other.

- N/A's like back pressure so a 2.25" to 2.5" crush and or mandrel bent catback system with a baffled performance muffler like a Flowmaster would give you a decent sound...

- Turbo's like FREE FLOWING... The more the better, within reason. A 3" mandrel bent downpipe to a 3" mandrel bent catback system with a free flowing straight through design muffler like a MAGNAFLOW or BORLA would work here. Because of space constraints you really cannot go bigger in the exhaust size.

CRUSH BENT = Less flow
MANDREL Bent = More flow

Best sounding is all personal preference.

Do you want to go prefabbed or custom?

Prefab is not always cheaper.

THe OBX turbo back system seems to be a descent unit for the money...
might want to look into that? some people here run it.
Remeber you will need a cat depending on the area you live in.
