Why are you detuning your car for the sake of more noise.
Its all in the mind. Noise doesn't equal performance, just increased fuel consumption.
Volvo, like all car makers, took ages to design the air-box to give the optimum flow with the engine map. Change one and you have to re-set the other and so it goes on until you have built a new car.

KN and people like them should be put up against a wall and shot for ripping off peoples hard earned with BS claims for performance increases.

Its the motoring equivalent of a piece of cardboard held in the spokes of a bicycle with a clothes peg.
