Ferrita Cat-Back S60 R

[Sharkey R]

Ok, so I've had the exhaust fitted now.

First impressions are sounds wise its spot on. Subtle enough not to wake the neighbours at stupid o'clock in the morning yet give it a bit of beans and she sings a lovely note. At motorway cruising speeds you barely even notice its on there which is perfect.

The only part i'm still not 100% sure about is the tailpipes. I might consider getting one of the custom exhaust companies to possibly see if they can swap the tips for a pair that more closely resemble the standard slash style pipes. Or figure out a way of darkening or painting the current ones to match the wheels and badges.

Oh forgot to mention it cost £564.71 fitted and Charlwood Volvo had it on there in an hour and a half. :-)

looking nice dude!!!

You got any more mods in the pipeline??

[Sharkey R]

Thank you.

To be honest she is pretty much how I want to keep her now. Might possibly go for a RICA or MTE remap at some point and possibly a Ferrita DP but not just yet.

Dark silver manifold paint mate, that'll bring it near enough the same colour as the wheels.

Looking good.

Isn't there a carbon cowl you can get to fit to the bumper round the pipes?
I'll see if I can find it...

Looking good mate, TBH I prefer the tailpipes to the slash cut pipes. Can't wait to hear it on Sunday.

I think the carbon bit only fits the earlier 'R's. I might have to investigate the manifold paint though. Thanks for that :-)

I keep thinking Ferrita they must be the best out there for Volvo.

Superb Pictures.

I am still on the look out for my exhaust and take in all these posts.

Nice!!!
Bet you're well happy now

[Sharkey R]

I'm really impressed with the sound.

Some might say its a bit too quiet, and that it should roar like a lion with a sore head, but all I know is it won't annoy the neighbours :-) (Unless I floor it down to the bottom of the road)

Must say I do like the stock look,but this should sound better.

I have the ferrita down pipe and cat back with a MTE map. as you have found out it sounds good. Quiet when needed, no drone at motorway speeds and a sporty sound when giving it some.

I am happy with the MTE map. You will have to have the down pipe to get the most out of it. Unfortunately you will have to put both on together. If you just do the down pipe it will bring the EML because less back pressure and it will boost a little higher. If you just put the map on, you won't get the full Benifit from the map.
What year is your car? Mine does not have Volvo spaced out like yours.

Hi my car is a MY54 car. I've recently changed the badges from stock chrome and bought the later volvo badge from ebay as I prefer it spaced out. Cost me £20 to have them all painted which I thought was bargain.

As for the remap yeah I know to get the full benefit you need to to the down pipe on as well. You can with the rica build the map in stages depending on your spec. IE replacement element filter and cat-back is first stage then add the DP for the next stage.

I think I'll run it othe Cat back for a bit till I get used to it then go for the DP and Remap.

Got to agree sharkey I'm not sure about the tail pipes, I dont like haw far over to the left Volvo have put the exits on these cars and I think it makes those pipes look funny.

I don't know if the system is adjustable in the sense of moving the tails forward a bit. I'm seriously thinking about trying a custom exhaust centre to see if they can change them. Just worried they might butcher it. I love the look of the pipes on LeeT5s V70R. He had the system made and the tails look stock but are slightly bigger.

[volvokid]

Get a custom place to tig weld the same style of pipes on as Lee's

[Sharkey R]

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Would that make me the first with a "custom" Ferrita exhaust? That's one for the cars CV lol

It sounds like it lol, I thought you actually meant you where just getting an off the shelf bolt on pipe, the welded one will look better.

God no, I want it to look like its part of the original system. That way then I get the best of both worlds. The sound of the Ferrita and keep the stock look. Just hope they make the tails in the same size as the Ferrita ones.
