well i was thinking like an intake/exhaust and maybe some tints. im getting $1000 for my truck, and i have $500 on top of that to put into it. tints should be around $200 so i have the rest for whatever. whats the cheapest i could get a pretty good intake and exhaust for it?

you can either custom fab your own cold air intake or you can buy either the EuroSportsTuning ram air intake, or the BMC CDA intake...as far as exhaust the best route is to hook up with a custom exhaust shop and go with 3" dp followed to a straight flow muffler...I would also look into the 14t upgrade since you have the funds...lastly would be a definite ecu tune by whatever company you prefer that does volvo, i recommend upsolute...

yea your paying for the name thats why...dont know about any other brands for cold air intakes...you have to realize though that the performance gains will be a bit higher with a cold air intake rather than just a ram air intake...its up to you whether you want to spend that money...

New rims and tires would be a good start. Then lower it. Next step is to slap on some body kits. That's just for starters. Next would be engine modification (I-H-E), then some interior work. Keep us updated on your ride!

is that flowmaster a straight flo through type? You dont want to choke up your exhaust even more..best mufflers for a turbo arefree flowing mufflers..
