Performance upgrades V70-XC70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Irving on  Sun Jan 7 12:35 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Does anyone have the IPD duel exhaust system on their XC? If so how much does it change the sound on the interior of the car? Thinking of getting the system but my wife does not want a really loud car. What kind of performance parts do any of you have on your XC?

    I've had the IPD dual exhaust installed on my XC for about 3 months. My girlfriend hasn't noticed the difference, so I didn't tell her. Under much throtle it is considerably louder inside, but I don't drive that way with passengers that don't enjoy speed as much as I. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again, the exhaust note adds nicely to the driving experience. I've added the Volvo front strut and oil pan guard. Also, Nology Hot wires and iridium plugs. I'd like to add the TME or Heico ECU, though a performance chip would be more affordable. The info on TME's web sight has me convinced that the ECU would be the better route. IPD distributes TME in the US and I've had good luck with them so far
