Twin exit exhaust

The Volvo 480 looks good as is, but if you have the desire to give it a more personal look you can find out what others did to their 480 and be inspired.

Twin exit exhaust

Post by hombre » Sun Jan 29, 2006 11:54 am

hi everyone. just wondering if anyone knows if twin exit exhausts were or are being made for the 480? with a pipe on either side, im thinking of modding an MGF exhuast if possible as have one sat around in the garage still i think. But if there were ones being made for the volvo, would be a lot easier!
Also what do you guys think to virtical door lifts,..doors to heavy for that? they are quite big. But it wou,d look so so cool on the 480, raly back to the future.

When Edd went and had his stainless exhaust made, he originally wanted a twin exit one, but they told him he could potentially lose 4-6 hp doing it.

It would have cost mnore though, so they were quite honest with him.
He stuck with a single exit in the end.
