Hey all...been a while since i last posted...i have an 2004 R, and just discovered that my Svenske DP has a hole in it. Volvo is saying they cant repair it...and they want to charge me $1,102.00 for a stock DP...the reason they say its so expensive is b/c they say it comes with a catalytic converter? can someone confirm this please, and maybe price of parts...this doesn't seem right. i just want to replace the Svenske DP with a stock one as i don't plan on keeping the car much longer...if this is the case i rather just buy an IPD one for less...

thx

$1102.00 is Volvo's suggested list price for the R engine pipe/cat converter.

You should either take it to an exhaust shop to get fixed, or buy someones stock downpipe for MUCH cheaper than that. Hell, buy a Phuzzy downpipe and save over stock also!

Why not just order a new cat from Summit Racing and have it welded in?

You could get the Phuz DP, it's reasonable and can be had with the ceramic coating.

If you are going the aftermarket path again, then I HIGHLY recommend the Phuzzy DP. I have his DP and FMIC, both are awesome. The price is much more reasonable and the quality will be hard to differentiate from IPD and others.

You can get a used OEM DP real easy - I got one for $100 off someone here. Why would you want to spend $700 on a DP if you are selling the car anyway?!
