Hey guys,
I started up my 1980 240 Coupe and the exhaust has rotted out. I need to replace it before I get the car inspected.
I'm looking for a good quality Stainless Steel replacement system. The car is stock (2.1, CIS, BW55), but I have a 2.3L turbo engine out of my 1992 940T w/ AW71 that might eventually make it's way into this car...
So, I'm looking for a good quality SS exhaust system that will not be overly obnoxiously loud or buzzy. I was thinking of the IPD Sport exhaust, but it seems that the quality has slipped considerably over the years.
Then I considered going with the Swedish Car Parts Stainless System: https://www.ebay.com/itm/VOLVO-240-...:Volvo&hash=item544cbd5079:g:WQIAAOSwMKpUZppm
or directly from them:
https://www.swedishcarparts.com/par...ystem-for-sedans-and-wagons-lifetime-warranty
but those systems seem to be stock diameters and if I am buying a stainless system for the rest of the cars life, why not go with a slightly larger size?
So, I figured that I'd ask here what others have bought and liked. Budget isn't a big concern, I'm just looking for a known quality system before I consider getting a custom system installed.
Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.
