Sadly, now I've apparently grown up and bought an XC90 (although a V8, so not all bad) it's time to start looking at moving my S70 on to a new home.
As we all know, these cars are worth far more in bits, but I don't want to break it if I can avoid it.
It has a lovely TME exhaust, cat and DP among other things.
Obviously the DP won't fit as it's a straight flange, but was wondering if the rest of the system would bolt up to the C70 ragtop? Also vice-versa to sell the S70.
I suppose in theory it would, but not sure about chassis bracing, etc getting in the way.
Cheers.

yes if you extend the rear part by approx 6"

That much??
Is that extend the S70 exhaust to fit the C70?
Wouldn't have thought there was that much in it!

Ah yes, S70 rear section looks slightly longer.
Cheers Fella.

When I moved my miltec cat back from the 850R to the black C70 - I had to chop a small section off the tube just behind the furthest rear box, because the bumper is curved and the exhaust tip sticks out like a sore thumb.

as for the downpipe, you could fit a straight flange to the turbo, I have a good one here you can have if you need it.

Ooh, cheers Adrian. Good thinking.
Are they easy enough to change?
Don't know if it would make any difference, but the C70 is an LPT, so teeny tiny turbo.

I stick me neck out here, but I'm sure there all the same hot side, so should an easy swap job, just one clamp and bingo, oh plus taking it off in the first place, but should allow you to used your fully system then

Cheers :)
Suppose I could always bolt it on to the DERV for a laugh :lol:
Turbo completely different on that though.

They're not all the same hot side, 18t is bigger than 13/16t.

What size is the exhaust 3"?
Post 806904 by Doingitsideways on 2016-11-04 19:50:52
Yeah
Edit:
Then again, just checked TME's website as Jamesy pulled the pics from above.
70mm DP/cat.
100mm system.

You said yours was a little turbo, so no problem as far as I see

Well I can find a very good home for it if the C70 doesn't want to wear it ;)
