'98 S70 Loud exhaust...tip?

I have a 1998 S70 with 165k on it and just got the exhaust replaced including the cat. I went with a Walker exhaust system which was a heck of a lot cheaper than the Volvo one. The exhaust seems a lot louder now especially when accelerating for the first time after starting it. I've checked for leak...

Thank you very much for your help. I did find those bolts. There were two bolts I was missing and after I found those two, I was home free. Thanks again!

Replacing alternator 1998 S70 non-turbo

Right now I'm in the middle of what was supposed to be an "easy" fix. My alternator went on me. My haynes s70 manual gives 4 simple steps to replace it but apparently their power steering pump isn't in the same place mine is! I've taken the auxillary belt off and taken out about 10 bolts a...

Does it look like a OEM quality part? How about the exhaust noise? Same as original one? Thanks I bought the part from MAC auto parts but they actually ordered the part from a manufacturing company called DAVICO MFG. They do special exhaust manufacturing. That said, the quality seemed very good. It...

I said I'd post when I got my CAT in the mail from ebay. So here it is. I recieved the catalytic converter in the mail for my 1998 S70 non-turbo automatic. Had it installed today with no problems. Again, I paid $184 including shipping for it. Which is by far the cheapest I could find for a CAT that ...

Please let us know what the part looks when you get it. They say its OEM, which is doubtfull at the price they sell. I need to change mine and I am really looking for a reasonably priced part that will not change the car sound. Magnaflow works but there is a lot of ressonance after installing this....

Sorry, I should have mentioned it is for a non turbo, automatic. I will post again when I get the part in the mail to say whether it worked or not.

Catalytic Converter S70/850

Knowing how much catalytic converters cost from a volvo dealer ($1,000+), just wanted to let anyone who is interested know about a good deal on one. I just bought a catalytic converter and the the exhaust pipes connected on both ends (from exhaust manifold to clamps) on ebay for $184 including shipp...

Thanks for your helpful info. However, I did do both of the things you suggested. I actually called 4 different dealerships and got the two codes then took my car into a dealer and we both tried to get the codes to work. So anyway the radio is officially dead. RIP. I now have a double din Kenwood sy...
