Dave,

Damn, I always hated working on those those old school, over-the-axle pipes. Also, if memory serves me, they did not last as long. Well, there goes the possibility of dropping the system in one shot.

Anyway, I paid about $135 for the exhaust kit which includes EVERTHING from the cat back - that's all the rubber and those great Volvo clamps, too. I have developed a friendly relationship with the parts guy at the dealership based on the realities of my situation. I told him: Look, just like you, I do not want to pay more for something than I have to spend; I have four 240's and I plan to go to my grave driving them; I like to use OE parts whenever I can afford them and between the I-Net and UPS I can always find the best price. He must have appreciated my logic because he has been giving me the jobber price ever since.
