Well, the non-stainless Maximizer exhaust rotted out on my T5, so I installed a new stainless OBX one.

Don’t forget to shave the other one for balance.

I prefer V-bands. I use them on any of the custom stuff I build.

The clamps that come in these kits are a bit minimalistic, but they work just fine. A little extra fiddling when installing, but they hold just fine. I already had 2 of the heavier-duty V-band clamps on this car, so I just reused those and a new kit-included one. Tossed the rest, even the used ones, in the spare parts bin.

My S70 came with an aftermarket cat and clamps that were a breeze to fit and seal

I've been to Ukraine,( Odessa ) and it has to be one of the most beautiful countries out there. Has, or had, some incredible architecture.
I'd like to see Putin, and a couple of other notables, set a drift in a single hull tanker, that after a few years, could then be used for military exercises.
But back to Volvo's - washed and cleaned Sveedy up for the first time since getting her back on the road.
Found a little " Motorsport " badge online that I think would look nice on her. Guess they only came on the " R " models for a year or two.
Purist would no doubt be upset, but only they would know. And without the " R " they would be left wondering ...

I like these kind of subtle stick in the eye of the purists.
