just a thought but has no one considered routing the pipe the other side of the steering box. ive never seen under one of these cars go can only guess whats going on. if 3" if impossible then the next best thing is go do 70 or 64mm just befor the steering box. the standard pipe is only 57mm which id say is to small once you start tuning the car

I didn't get much time to measure it properly but I did get my vernier out, it may be possible with an off round shape developed but again I didn't measure the width of the gap. I reckon enough time & effort to pattern develop it I suppose it would be possible but it would take a considerable time & skill to do it.
Getting the old dp off is a big enough mission. Think putting a fat boy on would result in a bit of lube & skinned knuckles.
It's as tight as a nuns chuff.

I have not been able to dismantle naturally my original DP ... it took cut into 3 pieces because it does not want to leave!!
I think the original DP is mounted on the engine and that the assembly is fastened in the engine compartment.
For my oval tailpipes 140x90 and they are just catalog FOX Germany.
It is quite correct to say that you just cannot get a 3" d'pipe into the available space in a RHD 850 or V70 AWD. There just is no room, whereas it is quite possible on the HLD cars but you do have to bring the pipe straight across the back of the engine bay as the OP can be seen to have done.
As has been previously mentioned Ferrita do make a twin outlet stainless system that fits after the first box after the cat.
You can find it here on my website: http://kalmar-union.com/parts/volvo-..._c70-exhausts/ the last item on the page....price includes VAT and UK mainland delivery.

to be fair bloody awd is doing my head in already, simple fuel pump change on a v70r awd is a right crap job on an awd
