New here, And Volvos in general
Hi, My name is Shawn, I am new to Volvos, I recently sold a Eagle Talon TSI AWD, to get my "new" 2000 S80 non turbo, I really want to Improve it, but dont know the weaknesses of the car, It needs a abs modual, Is there a place to get it rebuilt less than the $500 volvo dealer wants.
Here is my list for improvments, feel free to suggest better ideas if you get them
1.) ABS fix
2.)Cold Air kit, K&N
3.) Header?
4.) Exhaust 2.5" or 3"?
5.) Suspension springs, struts ect.
6.) Cross tower braces
Are there any good brake upgrades?

To get it rebuilt.
The N/A car will not gain much more HP.
Might be best to get a T-6.

Welcome.
I like your ambitions but your going to fall way short.
Your N/A, meaning basically no power. And to add power it is going to take a lot and many many monies.
Also we have intake an exhaust manifolds not headers.
There are no intake kits for the N/A's, custom job for you to do.
Suspension can be done easily.

Don't waste your money on go fast parts for an N/A. Even if your not looking to make it fast or not. It isn't worth it and more then likely you will loose powers. Especially with a 2.5" or 3" catback system.
2.25" at the most, and even then it isn't worth it.
Suspension and exterior/interior is what you should stick to.

Gotcha, one question I still have though, if i put a muffler that still has decent backpressure (3 chamber flowmaster) or similar, just to improve the exhaust note? I have a friend who is a muffler and exhaust distributor, so I can get pretty much anything, thanks all for the help
