Today I took some measurements

I used a G-tech performace meter for the tests. These are well regarded as being very accurate.

I did five runs and averaged them out, with and without the dual exhaust.

With the the dual exhuast from the 2000 V70R on my 99 V70R I am reading an average increase of 8%

186hp without dual

201hp with dual



The G-tech measures power at the wheels not dyno tested HP, thats why the numbers are lower than the Volvo specs for the car (247hp). I also did not have the exact wieght of the car so I inputted it on the light side, and this will result in lower numbers but the % will be the same.


I'll put my K & N in tomorrow and see what i get from that.
