I have an 01 S60 2.4T with 110,000 miles and live in Ohio where winter roads are white with salt more than snow. I'm noticing a little extra noise at idle and acceleration and am wondering if it's time to replace the exhaust.

I've check my usual after market parts providers (Groton and IPD) and searched the internet to find no after market supplier. Is the dealer my only option for an exhaust system replacement?

    Volvo started making stainless steel exhausts a long time ago, and they last forever it seems.
    With a cold engine, an unwanted shop cloth and a helper, start the car and plug the exhaust with the cloth. Listen for exhaust leaks up around the firewall.

    Most often, the connecting bolts for the down pipe and exhaust after the CAT rust out. You might just need a new clamp. Worst case, the flex pipe before the CAT has developed a hole which requires a new exhaust manifold.
