Exhausts; anyone replaced one?

billtomo · Apr 18th, 2014, 22:16

I had a 52 plate s60 d5 which went in 2012 and the exhaust was like new,similarly my 53 plate Is also original and in excellent condition. Has anyone ever replaced one during ownership.

yes off an 05 s60 and was tatty as ****! back box was falling apart and had a hole i could fit my head in! was rusted at the flanges so took it off at the turbo in one piece to make way for a full ss system

I have a new-found respect for OEM exhaust systems: the one on our S60 and the one on our Renault are both original, over 11 years old, are in fantastic condition and are still visibly shiny for the most part.

Replaced mine last year on a V70 2001 from the original.

Looking at mine made me think the exhaust is made out of stainless steel whilst the hangers are mild steel as my back box was held up with house hold wire. Bit of spare pipe later:

and how it sounds:

Worked at a dealer for 14 years and i think i can count on one hand the amount of volvo exhausts i have replaced due to failure

Had to replace one, once, on an 04 Rover 75 (if that counts) it was still original at 90,000 miles. Only problem was Rover initially made it a one piece exhaust, it's replacement came in 3 sections...

The exhaust on my XC70 looks to be original and is still going strong at 203,000 miles. Only problem was the centre hanger rotted which was replaced with a new clamp-on version.

Shame the hangers are steel, they rust..

However, easy fix from ebay for about £10.

well this was the state of the old one!

and because of this, i decided to rip him off straight from the turbo lol
