So I just recently picked up a 2000 s70 T5 and so far I'm loving it. I want to give it some more noise so I was thinking about buying this exhaust: OBX Turbo Back Exhaust 94-04 Volvo 850, C70, S70, V70 Turbo FWD - Exhaust Systems
My question is, is it fairly simple to install? Is it possible to have a shop install it and would that be worth it for a person like me who hasn't done much work on cars? Also planning on picking up some Pegasus wheels but that would be later on :P
Thanks.

 

Not sure how much more difficult the header is to install on a turbo s70 but I had my mechanic put stainless headers on my non turbo 99 s70 and he only charged me 150 bucks to install it. It may be more on a turbo car though? It sounds pretty nice 2 and definately bumped the performance up a little! Installed a cold air, bumped the exhaust piping from 1.75 inchs to 2.5 inches, high flow cat and straight thru cannister muffler! Then I sent in my ecu to oe tuning for a remap. Absolutely amazing. You'd think it was a turbo car. My mechanic installed it back in my car this morning and its a night and day difference. Do you have a ecu tune? I waited till after I upgraded my exhaust, manifold, and cold air intake installed before I decided to send my ecu for tuning and glad I did cause its got my car running pretty sweet in concert with my modifications!

 

Ohh my bad I thought you meant the obx headers. Hey as far as exhaust goes find a local muffler shop. Dont spend a crapload of money on a big brand exhaust. Get a cheap high flow short can catalytic convertor. Have them bump your piping up to 3 inch since you have a turbo and find a decent straight thru design muffler with no baffles. I had my shop make the pipe as straight as possible with very few bends for the best flow. I got all this done at a local shop for 385. It sounds really nice and definately helped in the horse power department. If you're really looking for power do the headers 2 cause otherwise you have a bottleneck and that slows your airflow!

 

Then get a cold air intake and a tune! You love that t5 now, you'd love it a whole lot more afterwards I promise!
