I put the dual exhaust on my '98 V70R. I was happy with the looks, but unhappy with the sound. So I got a 12" long 1/2" drill bit and drilled out the inside restrictor on the driver's side muffler. Then I pulled out all the fiberglass packing inside that I could reach. Now the car has a nice deep throaty sound that is not overbearing.
But, if I was doing it over again strictly for performance, I would go with a single muffler on the driver's side and not the dual outlet. Less restriction, and less weight.

I have a 96' 850GLT and I wish I could hook that up to mine cause that looks dope mann!!! I like the looks of the 98' V70 AWD and was thinking about getting one for my wife when I sort out my career difficulties. Money is very tight right now and work is so slow it's not even moving. I sure like to dream though and one day I'll buy her one and have the chance to hook up that dual exhaust like yours.
If U Wanna Play U Gotta Pay!!

Too bad about Waltrip-their prices were outstanding. Suggest you call FCP Groton or IPD (see top of forum for ads).JRL wrote:Waltrip is not selling out of state (shipping) anymore, no exceptionsdelorean wrote:My pro-muffler shop was unable to bend pipe to create a dual exhaust for the 99 XC70 with Magnaflow stainless mufflers. I was happy to read your message but googled Waltrip and could not track down the part# 9470703. Can you send me a link or a phone# so I can order this exhaust??

I called my Volvo dealership and they do not show a genuine dual exhaust system. Some picture on Swedespeed shows a dual exhaust but if you look closely on the driver-side muffler, the tip is added on later. Unless its for older cars including '98, dual exhaust is not offered on a V70R AWD stock car. Still sourcing a Magnaflow muffler. If that fails, fabricate my own

Your dealer is an idiot
Ask them to look up the dual exhaust for a 2000 V70R
See what they say about this:
1. Volvo Dual Exhaust system for 98-00 AWD V70s:
- 9470703: muffler, R - +/- $276.42
- 8631696 : end pipe - +/- $65.99 each or 9470988 (alternate part, nearly identical)
- 9484490: frame, left with rivets (bumper exhaust trim piece) - $9.61
- 9169283: rim/frame, right press in, no rivets (bumper exhaust trim piece)
- plastic rivets

Dual was STOCK on 2000 V70R's. Period.
And it'll bolt right up on '98 and 99 R's.
Many have also used it for XC's.
Honest. Really. No Foolin'.
