Can someone advise me on the types of performance upgrades I can make on my 2001 Volvo S60 2.4T? I know I can upgrade the exhaust.

Right now, I have a K&N Filter. It works well.

Are there more upgrades I can make?

Also, can someone tell me which exhaust I should get for my car? I do not know the names of the best companies anymore.

Thanks!

 

K&N filters don't really add any performance over the factory airbox on a stock 2.4T. Upgrading the exhaust will only make the car louder... If you want to add performance, the biggest ROI is by having an ECU tune done (budget $500-700). After that, consider upgrading to a 3" downpipe (the piece of the exhaust between the turbo and the cat). Budget another $500 here. Run 93 octane gas. Make sure the car is in excellent tune - plugs, coils, vacuum lines etc. After that, you can go to a bigger turbo for another $500+, with larger injectors... Check out some of the Volvo friendly web sites (the ARD site is good for this kind of research).

 

I actually want a louder exhaust. I am worth it. I work hard.

 

I did some research. I found Flowmaster. It is apparently the best. Should I get it?

 

I'd look towards Borla. Flowmasters turn into rust.

 

Thanks for the info.

I found this one made by Polestar: Volvo S60. #31454565: Exhaust system kit (Tech Matt Black). Polestar Performance Intake &

It seems like it would be the smartest option, since it was made in conjunction with Volvo.

What do you think?

 

Borla does not make any for Volvo: https://www.borla.com/?gclid=Cj0KEQj...iOYaAudx8P8HAQ

 

Flowmaster does not many any for Volvo: EXHAUST SYSTEMS | Flowmaster - The Exhaust Technology Company

 

Polestar seems like an awesome company:

 

ipd and viva both have bolt on cat back systems for volvos. Flowmaster would require that you purchase the muffler and resonator and take them to a shop for installation.

 

I think I will just get Polestar.
