Post S40 2.4I very loud when accelerating

Default

check the exhaust system from the manifold to the cat. There's a flex pipe section there that often breaks or you may have a crack at a junction or in the header itself (the part that bolts to the engine and to the downpipe). My bet is you have an exhaust leak at the flex pipe.
