Dual Or Single Muffler System On 98 V70AWDR? V70-XC70 1998

I need a new muffler system on my 98 saffron V70AWDR. The original single exhaust is shot and is coming off. I've always wanted a dual muffler system on the car plus maybe a sweet sound to go with it. Are there modifications or replacement parts needed or suggested before a dual system goes on? Will it be worth the pricetag(700.00)? Will I notice any improvement in power? Or do I just put an OEM single back on it and forget about? The car is now 11 years old with 250km. It's in good shape and has the unique saffron colour.
Your thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Ontario boy!

    Hello, My thoughts/opinions are as follows. The original single system gave you >11 years because it heated up quickly. Didn't Volvo calculate back pressure into the "R spec'd" exhaust system? You have a great car with a unique paint job. Departing from factory original will adversely effect curb appeal. Will an aftermarket system sound "sweet" or make it sound like a high school kid's 1989 Honda? Will a dual system have two catylitic systems and 4 oxygen sensors -farewell 700 CAD guesstimate- or just branch off at the rear axle? Will cutting the rear valance result in a matching notch? I don't want to rain on your parade but with that car you're already the Grand Marshall. Kira PS We watched the original, narrated "The Incredible Journey"(1963)last night. Canada is cool. K

      Thanks Guys,

      I appreciate your opinion; the car is definitely unique because of its colour but as time passes I can see that it'll become a project car where I'll be replaces parts. I'd like to keep it original and know that adding the dual system will depart from that. Btw the CAD price with taxes comes to around 950.00. I'll ckeck out what Volvo charges for an OEM single and go from there.

      Ontario boy!
