Look at this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-SS-Exhaust-System-98-Up-Volvo-S70-V70-C70-T5R-T5-R_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1031Q7c39Q3a1Q7 c66Q3a1Q7c65Q3a12Q7c240Q3a1318QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0 Q2em14QQhashZitem150287785665QQitemZ150287785665 I have one and the quality is excellent. Mine will be getting fitted on Saturday. You will need a 16t turbo though to fit it, well a 16t turbine housing at least.

Will it not fit a 15g Alan if it's the later one with a flat flange ?

[Alan M]

Yes sorry I should have stated that. I noticed on it today aswell that at the very end of the tailpipe there is a small section with some sound deadening material to aid with noise reduction a little. I don't think it will help with the decat on though.

Do us a favour Alan, when you post up piccies of the exhaust fitted (oh, can you post up piccies of the exhaust fitted please LOL !) could you also let us know total cost including shipping, tax etc and any problems you had getting it over here.

Ta !

[Alan M]

I will do.

how much was it in pounds alan, also my car is an 1995 t5, which turbo do i have do you know?

[Alan M]

It worked out to around £300 delivered for the standard package of exhaust and downpipe. I had to add $210 US to the $349 they retail at to get the system. Their communication was very poor though and I even had to use the threat of an ebay intervention to get a decent reply which was written in english and not the broken c*** that I had sent to me the first several times. You will get sung by import duty and VAT plus the handling fee off parcel force which works out at around £72. It gets all opened up by customs too and arrives in a shabby state. I wasn't best pleased with the condition it arrived but there was no real damage so I didn't worry to much.

Sorry, you will probably have a 15g on a 95 model T5 unless its a manual T5r.

Sorry, you will probably have a 15g on a 95 model T5 unless its a manual T5r.

But (just too add) I think I'm right in saying that on a 95 the 15g will most likely have the conical downpipe flange rather than the flat one (best to check to be sure as the downpipe won't fit otherwise)

Theres a few specialists around the Glasgow area who would custom make q stainless steel system for around the 300 mark plus u choose the db levels and the tail pipe your only limitation is your imagination as they say
