LOL mine would notice as soon as she saw it.

 

****I found my 18T*****

16T now for sale.

 

Congrats and good luck with the sale. Wish I could buy it.

 

Ok, I need advice here from all California modified Volvos.

I have My 18T, Angles flange and OBX downpipe. I am now looking for a catalytic converters that will pass California smog. I have my eye on this one:

Does anyone have experience with smogging in Ca with a modified exhaust?

 

You know that exhaust shops won't weld that on for you either? It's illegal for them to weld on aftermarket cats unless it's an OEM state approved cat. Just so you know. And it's not so much if the cat will past emissions, if they see an unapproved cat, they will fail you. I've read quite a bit about it.

 

Welding is not a problem. I own a mig, tig and arc.

 

Well then, there you go. I would just be worried about them seeing it.

 

I am not so worried about them seeing it as I am about it physically passing out the tail pipe. If it does not pass it will raise suspicion.

 

Got re-skinned today.

 

That is a good cut on them!!

 

More yumminess!!

...and the Metal Substrate High Flow Cat is being shipped to Utah which I will be picking up in a couple weeks. (Since I cant buy it in Cali)

 

That's sick. I'm still trying to decide if I want to run an angled housing on my 19T or stay with the straight. I would have to buy the angled DP. Have you considered swapping on an R manifold when you do the 18T? I would. Flow is like 35% better from what I hear, and running a bigger turbo, you want to get that hot air out as fast as you can.

 

I installed my CD Changer in the rear of the wagon today. looks good but I think I am going to try a better matching paint.

 

Well I decided to use the extra set of mud flaps I had for the front and give them a little face lift to fit on the rear.

Here is what they look like before and after



And on the car, not mounted yet.

 

Looks good

 

The H&R's are here. Saturday cant come too soon.

 

Sweet ride bro.Have you joined the WAGON MAFIA? lol

 

Man that wagon looks good. Are you about to lower it with those springs?

Also, is the T-5R front spoiler different than the '96 & '97 R spoiler?

 

Woah, black springs? I had blue springs on my H&R's

 

Their actually metallic gray. I took the struts out a few mins ago and one of my bump stops is worn out. Dealer has to special order it....Ugh.
