    just remember you will need a cat these days, its now illegal not to have one, have a look here for the exhaust: http://www.powerflowexhausts.co.uk/dealer-locator/

    As for remap, it would probably be well worth the trip to HLM as they are one of the best and cheapest for volvos, and boost gauges etc is ebay

    I've seen loads on ebay but you never know what tat sells on there and prefer recommendations if possible, as for cats. i am aware they are required lol. but i know good gains can be had with 3" downpipe. i also want a proper exhaust note. :-)

    Personnally i only think its worth going for a bigger downpipe if your going for a bigger turbo with supporting mods as you can increase turbo lag.

    Try and find a good custom exhaust shop, they can be cheaper than you'd think.
