So finally got the V50 (2010) T5 back from Shark yesterday.....

went on a day trip to pick it up all the way from aberdeen which included flying to Luton, then driving all the way up to Mansfield (thanks Mark for the lift). The Shark guys had an open day in full swing when we got there which had some very nice cars showing up including there very own crazy golf!!

The Volvo was down for a full miltek Exhaust system 3" all the way through 200 cel sports cat and new cat back setup finishing with two great big tips poking out from below the rear bumper!!

Needless to say the thing sounds amazing, it is in no way too loud when you are cutting around town and just idling etc but if you open it up and head for the redline WOOOHOOO!!!

The Shark guys also fitted the whole car with polybush sets front and rear etc which as others on here will tell you (t5-monkey) are possibly the best value for money upgrade you can get. They are not as hard as making every thing shake and rattle but have improved the ride and handling ten fold !!!

The car already had the typhoon intake fitted also bilstien b14 coil overs.

Shark then performed the magic with a couple of remaps settling on a stage 2 giving me a very nice 275BHP matched up with 420trq.
Its hard to describe just how much the car pulls now and the noise that comes from the exhaust (video soon hopefully)

playing on a private road, 3rd gear just before the redline at 6500revs to be up to 110 and it just wanted to keep going.

pics etc on the way here are a couple to get it started ....
