IPD sport exaust vs Speedy muffler 200 1989

www.eEuroparts.com sells the 240 system (and maybe others) for $95 w/o shipping. they also sell each individual piece. i bought the rear axle pipe for about $12.50 from them when i did my custom exhaust.

what i did is i bought a dynomax universal "super turbo" muffler (#17739) for $48 from racesearch.com. the one i bought has two outlets, thats why i chose that specific one, but they have plenty to choose from, most with single outlets and in just about every size you want, so i'm sure you could find a good one to match the size of the volvo stock muffler. -- http://www.a-1performance.com/ -- has the lists and drawings for most of them. they're cheap and they do the job well. they're not incredibly loud either. they're not fart pipes or grapefruit shooters with a ricer "blaaat" sound. its deep, throaty, and just really sounds good; i love mine. sometimes i'll punch it from the red light just to hear it.

as for my set-up, i kept the original cat and headers under there (for the time being), and i eliminated the front muffler, replaced it with a straight pipe, replaced the rear axle pipe with a new one, and plopped the dynomax on the back, with two 2.5" tailpipes running out the back. i noticed a lot better performance and better breathing out of it within 2 days of breaking it in. i could gun it in a higher rpm range, and i gained some good pick-up. i'm extremely pleased with it. once i remove my cat and get newer headers (the outside is just covered in rust, i'd cry if i saw the inside), i'll be ready to add my intakes.
