    S80 V8 stainless exhaust.

    I have just heard from TME that they are putting the finishing touches to a stainless exhaust for the V8.



    It is to all intent and purpose hand made and will fit after the first standard box that is a very awkward and difficult shape to copy.... so not quite a cat back in the fullest sense. It will add a wee bit to outputs but will have a beautiful sound, classy tailpipes etc........



    Pictures and a price UK delivered to follow, they will likely only be made to order.

    Indeed Dave,

    I would say that most of the UK ones were bought used having been laundered through the dealer/Volvo staff network to get them out at sensible prices.

    There are always a couple on ebay and autotrader lowest yet around £7.500.

    Three of my old customers have bought one and two at least lost to this cause as I could not offer an exhaust at that time and I believe they imported from Heico as I suggested....

    This xc90 v8 has some snap crackle and pop on the over run.

    Doesn't ferrita already make xc90 v8 exhausts, I've heard the standard exhausts are very restrictive with 3 cats.

    Ferrita did make a couple of bespoke exhausts for both the V8s, I did have a picture up on my website but no interest.....

    I have spoken to one UK specialist who believed that a well designed pair of d'pipes with special cats plus a cat back might give up to 30bhp, so with some software changes maybe 45/50bhp would be attainable.

    That's roughly what I've seen, it's few and far between tuned v8 Volvo's 350-370 is reckoned to be attainable. It would be nice in the s80.

    I've read and seen a few times now that there bhp / performance figures are under estimated especially on newer stuff.

    S80 V8 TME exhaust.

    I have just got this picture of one of the first fitted in Sweden.

    And the very same system, but with two single 100mm tailpipes is now available for the V70 T6 AWD too...Name:  S80n-V8.JPG
