If you hadn't followed my adventure in my last post, I finally had to agree that it was easier and more cost effective just to replace the complete system.
I found a Staria system for $189.00 at FCP but from what I have heard here, they are not close to the quality of OEM . I thought that Tasco was OEM and near the same price, but they only had the parts listed separately. I didn't bother adding it up, but wouldn't be surprised if it approached %400.00. I will call them tomorrow to confirm. I also checked out Beachmont Volvo in Ohio, but their parts page was under construction. I do have a Staria system on my 240 and it's definitely superior to the part store Wagner exhaust systems. Should Staria still be in the running considering 400 dollars for OEM is definitely out of the question.
I heard Bosal systems are near the same quality as OEM, but haven't located a source yet. Suggestions and sources are definitely welcome...
