Anyone familiar with this aftermarket muffler assembly from Eastern Catalytic?

The only other alternative is a new Volvo part at $400.

Bet that isn't easy to install. The OE part slides on to the mid pipe perfectly, and uses one 15mm bolt to clamp on to it, (Accessible with a very long extension from underneath) rather than the aftermarket clamp included with this one that has two clamping sections. I'd be willing to bet the hangers aren't placed properly either. Aftermarket exhaust stuff is usually hit or miss if you're looking for an easy time.

These single exhaust units were on every AWD Volvo from 98-00 except the '00 V70R and are very common. You might want to try Erie Vo-Vo for a quote on one. Don't go aftermarket on this, not worth it.

I have a ferrita twin pipe system on my 1998 xc70..it fitted perfectly. Worth searching for if you can find one.
