2001 s40r flex pipe
I have a 01 s40r. The flex pipe at the converter has gone bad at the front weld. I've talked to volvo na, they told me vech wasnt covered under the extended warranty program because of the vin #. I questioned this because it's a obvious known problem so how can it only affect specific vechicle. Anyway, i think i can just have the flex pipe replaced, the rest of the system is sound. does anyone know the size of the flex pipe on this car? the options are 2x8 or 2x6. i can purchase the pipe separately and have the new put on hopefully. thnaks for any replies.

What will a bigger flex pipe do?
Hi there, will a bigger flex give me more power? Apparently the manifold is covered by warranty but my flex pipe isn't, is it worth spending the $2000.00 they have quoted me at Volvo to get a new flex pipe, or pay $800.00 for a used one they have offered, or go to a muffler shop and have them fix the flex pipe? I'm not sure that if I get the flex pipe fixed elsewhere whether Volvo will say no way to fixing the manifold... Thanks in advance, Rob

dude, just take it to shop remove the old and get a new flex and the car will be silent again, unless u wanna keep up with the whistle which in my case i got confused at first but love when at 5,000 rpm a whistle like a turbo sound came up and sure i felt like an adrenaline pump for a sec haha..respect said others hes got huge intake ...by the way it cost me like 35$ the service and all
