Yet another good reason to use only genuine OEM Volvo parts!br0dy519 wrote: 09 Sep 2022, 13:38 I’ve read there’s pretty big variation from aftermarkets to OEM for them, 0.08inch comes to mind from a post I saw. Might explain why it’s so hard for some brands to get pressed in. I’m going to use the freezer and iron pipe trick.

Well, it was over a week or so when I washed the Project 2007 S60 2.5. When I arrived at my folks the other day the electrician said someone sprayed down the S60 but not the S80. He heard something going on outside but when he came out he didn't see anything. It was completely wet.
A neighbor had told me that some of the other neighbors were asking about the parking of 2 car in our driveway (1 allowed). Not wanting to think... Perhaps someone thought the car was dirty, but how? I ask one neighbor if they saw anyone and she said it just rained not too long ago. Didn't know the other neighbor well enough to ask, besides why would anyone just hose down one car. Sorry, long story short but yesterday it rain again.

Ok, confessions time. When I was 10, our gang figured out we had a severe OCD neighbor who no one liked, who yelled at us for everything, so we got in the habit of wetting one of his three cars and then watching him trying to figure it out in the morning.
I hope he got the help he needed.
Just back from NC - nice place. Shoes got wet somehow.
). Tons of homes have a master and guest room down and many have 3 car garages. Better for my parents and in case I have to be downstairs during the night for any care needed. Most neighborhoods in the RTP area has a trail head so it's convenient for nature walks, jogging or biking plus lots of lakes. Decided to stay!
... good flow now and no steam. Wife is happy it's the first time in over a year that she's had a quiet car since the last time it rotted out I just put a straight pipe with a 45 on it there.prwood wrote:I wish I had a permanent car repair area that was covered, had a level surface, lighting and fans, a workbench, and tool cabinets.

theres a dual welded pipe hanger between the 2 mufflers, still not enough.br0dy519 wrote: 15 Sep 2022, 07:20 I put a muffler on my wife's car yesterday. Got it from a scrap vehicle that was on it's side. I think it got some rainwater in it, you could hear it sloshing about. First drive once warmed up so much steam came out it was like I did a Seafoam treatment,
It just occured to me though, handling the muffler, how poor the design is. It's massive and heavy and supported only by the clamp to the resonator, and the hanger on the tailpipe end. It's so obvious why both of these points fail as they have so much stress on them. There should have been a support designed at the actual physical fat body of the muffler. Just my 2c.
Ah yes, the dual hanger. One of my favourite 100% failure rate item of the P2’s. It’s up there with the DIM though ….jonesg wrote: 16 Sep 2022, 03:30 theres a dual welded pipe hanger between the 2 mufflers, still not enough.

. I also spend a good part of the day polishing. Hopefully I will be done with it tomorrow morning
