I already made my appointment with Volvo. The pipe seemed to have split at a wide clamp a foot behind the cat. I'm just hoping it's not $800 for the muffler, still if that's what it is, then that's it.

Several years ago they also wrote there was a crack or something in my exhaust manifold, I hope they don't give me any BS. with their 'EXHAUST SYSTEM UNIFORM INSPECTION GUIDELINES' .

There's hardly a part on my car they they say doesn't need replacing, but it drives great and just hit 100,000 miles. I'm the original owner. I might even keep it another 15 years.
