Straight Piping My Volvo V70R Made it Sound like a V10!

[@MercyOfDarkness]

I think I have finally figured out why these videos grab me so much. You talk normal, at a normal volume and pace. Which is rare these days, its usually about being the most obnoxious. You are just laidback and nice, makes me feel like I am there with ya working on this.

I will be the first to say in almost all cars I've heard Straight piped im not a fan but man these 5 cylinder engines need to be heard with a straight pipe I 100% approve of the straight pipe on these T5s!

Personal Opinion - the V70R is one of the best looking Estates/Wagons ever made. It's simple elegance that cannot be mistaken for something else, and that's what makes it look so good.

[@angus3963]

The Volvo B5 sounds so good with a straightpipe, the sound is so addictive. The Delrin bushings make the steering SO much sharper too, I absoluetly LOVED mine. I miss mine so much, I had an 04 V70 T5 manual with the B5234T, bunch of work done on it, drove the shit out of it for 12 years, sold it and it's still running today. I highly recommend getting a proper 3" downpipe, deres the IPD pipe and keep the rear muffler, I had up a muffler delete for mine that I would run sometimes as well for pure straight pipe goodness. For some reason mine was a magnet for trucks wanting to race, had some good laughs that's for sure.

[@tylerross3847]

Your video series restoring this $1,500 V70R has convinced me to not sell my $3,500 S60R and to go all-in on it instead. It needs complete 4C overhaul, brake rotors/pads, DEM, etc. But after watching you do all that you've done and still love these, I gotta admire that passion and I'll give it a shot with my own project. Thanks man and keep it up!

not sure if it's a common issue but Its fairly cheap and easy to prevent, but at high milage and less than great maintenance the o rings inside the oil pan start to fail and you will have no oil pressure. consider doing that if you haven't already before the car leaves you stranded lol ask me how I found out. but yeah great series and great car!

[@garrettfruzynski]

Nice work on the rear sway bar! I have an 04 XC70 and upgraded to a stock R one but didn't want to remove the exhaust (East Coast rust problems) and it was a bit more of a battle BUT you nailed it with loosening the lower shock bolts for a bit of extra clearance, that's what got me home free as well! I agree, the sound is more mild than expected with the cat back straight pipe. Now I have the itch to put a fresh metal blade in the sawzall and help my muffler leave the chat 😅

[@Wildicon19]

Man I miss wrenching on my car! You sure know your way around cars. It sounds like a beast! Thank you for keeping it real, because a lot of people feel they need to be loud and flashy to grab your attention. You are chill and mellow. It is a breath of fresh air!

[@knh5954]

If you think it is too loud, switch the resonator over to the straight pipe, not only is it similar to a glass pack which will quiet it down, but it will also get rid of the drone. Have a 95 525i 5spd that I did a muff delete leaving both cats and suitcase resonator on and I fell in love with the car all over again. It never had any sound and now it is like driving a different car where it can be heard on rev matches and down shifts, but not too loud to be embarrassing leaving the neighborhood.

I just bought a 2007 S60R, in silver, fully loaded with the M66 manual for $2,300 yesterday. It’s been fun binge watching this series. Mine has a straight pipe and I think I am going to either replace it with an IPD setup, or just install a muffler in the straight pipe. It sounds good but I don’t think I can live with it as is.

I have been daily driving my 04 v70r for the past 12 years. It is up to 228k, and there still isn't another newer car I'd rather own. The only thing I wish I'd held out for, when looking at these, was a manual. Those are kind of unicorns. Owned a 855T wagon before with close to 270k when I sold it. 5 cylinder Volvo's are some of the best sounding small engines out there.

[@andrewd7586]

Only one tiny bit of advice I’d give. When you’re tapping/smacking/hammering a stuck bolt like you did from the exhaust flange. Put the nut back on first, then turn it onto the thread several times. That way you won’t flatten the thread on the bolt.👍🏼

you should get this thing a full exhaust honestly. cudtom downpipes with a sports cat farther in the back of the system. that would also increase the power and it will sound sweet as hell

[@elementl1166]

The issue with the bracket of death is if bent up from road debris or speedbump it’ll send your exhaust into your propshaft. No bueno. And nice to see newer videos of the R - they were few and far between when I bought my R new 17 years ago… yes I still have it if you wondered.

[@ieism1]

I loved this car as a kid, and I still get weak in the knees when I see a yellow one with the dark grey wheels here in Europe. But I have enough money swallowing projects to keep me insane, so happy to just watch the video.

[@steffenscheibler5849]

The reason it sounds nice and isn't as loud as you may have thought, is that even thought it's fairly loud at idle (compared to before), the turbo as it spools fast under load, acts similarly to a muffler in some ways, as the blades chop up the sound waves. Having straight-pipes a Volvo V70R myself, it is still louder than the police like (at least in Europe) though. I did get pulled over and had to remove the straight-pipe in the end.

[@beaverman285]

A few months ago my older brother had to do some work on his friends XC70. Among other things, the exhaust had rusted off after the cat and i was amazed how cool it sounded. I also have an XC70 and at the time i threw the idea at my brother to sell my exhaust to his friend for cheap and buy a straight pipe exhaust(probably with a resonator) for my car. Just one of those stupid ideas that i wouldn't actually do, but if i ever get myself a v70r or any other r car i might do it.

[@andrewallen9432]

[@FlyingStuff]

Dude, I’ve always wanted one of these, they are so cool. I feel like it’s almost a modern take on the c4 Audi s6 avant- with the 20V turbo, or Volvos take on the b5 s4 avant. The latter or of the two I have owned and sadly sold it, still do have one but miss the avant badly. This video has made me want to look for a V70R now though, haha.
