I think I'll see what the standard pipe looks like before I decide. I suspect it will be perfectly good, but a little bit of me would like to keep some of the RB's history - even the slightly naff bits :-)

It could have, though, Alan, had it not been for the oil crisis in the mid seventies. Volvo were at that time developing a V8 to rival the likes of the Rover SD1. On reflection, it was decided that in the circumstances this was not such a good idea and is the reason why the V6 motor in the 262/4/5 is a 90, and not 60, degree vee unit.
What a fine car that might have been had they held their nerve. A missed opportunity, I think. Pleased that you're continuing to enjoy the R.B.; do you think you'll ever run out of things to do?!
Regards, John.
