General: New Performance Exhaust - on a diesel..

[400-ascona]

I would love these on our T6, but we have an LPG tank, so not an option.

Hi Don. I checked that exhaust kit on the Ferrita site... KR7495.00..!! which exchanges as £1,095...

If I buy the OEM Volvo tail-pipe, not only will I be able to retain the space-saver spare wheel and not have to cut a 2nd hole in the rear bumper, but I'll also be able to keep over £600 in my bank account...

Nuff said, methinks...

Hi,

I got the genuine Volvo sidesteps with rubbers treads delivered for about £340 all in from Stratstone Volvo in Nottingham last autumn. Very helpful guys, prompt delivery to Skipton, North Yorkshire. Very good. They did sell on ebay, but haven't checked recently.

My one and only purchase on ebay was a rear skidplate for my '05 XC90. £44 shipped. Makes the back of the car look much better (though not as good as the latest full width skidplates).

All I need now is the quad tailpipes in much the same style as you have done Ibge, and I'll be most happy.

Then want to get rid of the factory fitted 17" alloys for some decent looking rims.....

Thanks Ibge for the helpful posts.

What do they look like? (Forgot to spec sidesteps)

Hi,

Attached are a couple of images I just l just lifted from Google images. The side steps are the genuine Volvo aluminium ones, and to be honest the best of any I have seen on the XC90. I have the rubber treads fitted, a must given our wet and slippery weather!

And another good way to upset the neighbours is to bang 2 frying pans together

Are they easy to fit? I also wish I had spec'd side steps as the kids struggle to get in. Don't fancy paying for a couple of hours labour if I can DIY easily. Nottingham is not too far from me, how much was the postage as I can collect and save some more.

Dead easy to fit. 8 bolts and they are done. The longer bolts for the running boards just replace some of the existing suspension bolts. Definately worth it to help the kids get in and out, also useful when cleaning the roof (and I'm 6ft5").
