Default I got new exhaust





3" downpipe for my Volvo With an extra O2 bung for my wideband controller. I went to Budget Towing in Mt. Vernon and at first I kinda got the "But, why?" look lol. They were real helpful there and asked all kinds of questions to make sure they did it right. They run a real nice shop there. Now once I put this pipe on I'm going to head back there to get the rest of the 3" system put on!

Sitting right below me in my garage, untouched. Still dealing with the insurance. It's taking this long mainly because my dad is lazy and the insurance policy is his, and I only am home every 2 weeks to sign papers and stuff. Don't know exactly how much I will get at this point.

Yeah it should give 10 or so I would think, plus it should help with the spool up. What looks weird about the pipe?

I guess because I can't visualize where it would go and all I can picture is that somehow sticking out the back of a volvo..........

lol! No, what a downpipe does is goes from the exhaust outlet of the turbo and then goes down to the catalytic converter, and then you have the cat-back.

Quit spending money on that volvo and spend it on your Camaro.

Budget does some good work. They did my boom tube.

I am going to look at a 98 S70 today at lunch. I may have to call Budget for a new downpipe as well

I'm going to wait until I get the insurance money before I decide what exactly I am going to do with the Camaro. 90% of my stock parts are laying out in my garage right now..

Screw that Boyce. I would think you would be looking at the new Z06. They do have baby seat mods, you know.

And Eric, I would think the insurance would pay the same whether or not you got it all right away or a few months down the line. Get it goin' bro. That thing is too sweet to be sitting in your garage in a box. (That goes for Boyce and Ellis too.)
