I'm out of Dawsonville, I'm in a silver S40. I love the C30s.

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

I pass through Dawsonville every day on my way to work. Maybe we passed each other at some point. Are you the same Dawesoneville S40 from SwedeSpeed? We're planning a small Volvo meet in Dahlonega on November 22nd, you should come up!

[@timothy680921]

Hi, awesome car!! Didn't you have problems with the car going into limp mode after removing the cat? I have a t5 as well and want to decat it.

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

+Tim van Niekerk Never went into limp mode. You have a few options... You can install an O2 spacer which should prevent any CELs. But the major tuners (Elevate, Shark, Etc.) have tunes which ignore the 2nd O2 sensor's reading. So there will be no problems. Both my S40 and C30 are catless and neither of them have given me any problems.

[@nac4866]

I like the body kit.

[@THE_MrHotTrax]

I see that GEORGIA tag!!!

[@arturomendez5242]

Omg bro your car sounds awesome I just bought the same car I would like it too sound the same as yours how much did you spend to make it sound like that

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Arturo Mendez The catless downpipe was $100 (just the Manzo downpipe off ebay). The supplies for the custom muffler delete was about $120. Quad tips were another $90.

What rims you use? Looks really great on Volvo. I have Volvo S40 / 2006/ TDI 2.0 150 hp. What chance i have to find an exhaust like this one. I really like to get one. Also what budget i need for complete exhaust / rims and pov (if is compatible with my car) I'm from Romania.

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Halfop AL Volvo Midir wheels off a C30. For a diesel, there area few exhaust options. This setup was custom built and only cost me about $200 total.

[@wbhard3029]

Yea the same one, I think I passed you not too long ago, not many modified S40 in north ga. Where's the meet at I might try and make it.

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Going to be meeting for lunch in the Dahlonega square, then probably go for a little drive. PM me on SwedeSpeed and I'll get you the final details once we figure them out.

[@brianmin1734]

Where did you find the rear diffuser and front lip? Really nice!

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

The front lip is custom. The rear diffuser is also custom, but I sell the 3D printed fins on ShapeWays so that people can make their own. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b17QgmukibuiaLs also this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4e2ZnmagqyqeKs

[@themockalove]

Omg! Yes!

[@niteshftgetaway8305]

I understand the downpipe but could you tell me the rest of the layout I tried finding the answers in the Q&A, didn't see them. Thanks

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

From the downpipe, the exhaust routes over the rear axle and feeds into the muffler, which then splits to a dual out. For this muffler delete, it was just cutting out the muffler and fitting a Y pipe to feed to the two tips. There are more details and pictures in my build thread on SwedeSpeed forums.swedespeed.com/showthread.php?177336-MyNameIdeasWereTaken-s-Progression-Thread

AT or MT? in Brazil has only AT, sad man... I wanna s40 2.5 T5 MT, but has only 41 c30 with this setup here.

[@coopervengrove]

Will this exhuast system work on a 2009 v50 t5? really like the sound of this

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

It's just a muffler delete, so yes, it'll be the exact same on your V50. But know that it will be loud and have a lot of drone.

[@coopervengrove]

[@fymorplayeras6684]

the name is diffuser?

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

fymor playeras We just call it a "Rear Diffuser." You can buy the diffuser fins here: www.ebay.com/itm/Volvo-S40-Diffuser-Fins-set-of-4-/271738948743 The black part that they are mounted to was a custom project, but you can mount the fins to your existing trim. Only if you have the stock black plastic trim though.

[@fymorplayeras6684]

OH THANKS BRO, AND BY THE WAY... awesome s40... well sorry but i have another question, what kind of material did you use for the high lights, cause i see the circle in color blue strong.

[@miguelpoky2]

would I get a similar sound from my 04 2.4 inline 5 ( not turbocharged )?

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

The 2.4 will have a much deeper and raspier tone. The turbo greatly muffles the sound of the 5 cylinder, but the NA will sound like a beast. There are a few good videos on youtube of straight pipe and muffler deletes on the 2.4i Volvos.

[@miguelpoky2]

did you just remove the muffler? or the resonater too? and what size piping did you use

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

I originally had a catless 3" downpipe with a resonator delete and the stock muffler. When I installed the 2.5" muffler delete, I added a 3" magnaflow resonator to the system as well. This helped with drone a little bit, but it was still pretty intense.

[@nikcannon3455]

[@mattk7786]

Hey friend. I've recently purchased an 05 S40 T5 with about 150k miles on it, and I'd like to make sure A: it runs the tip top it can and B: make a few modifications to it. I'd love your opinion on where to start to maintain a healthy car and what things I should look at doing to make it a beaut. Thanks!

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

I suggest joining SwedeSpeed: forums.swedespeed.com/forumdisplay.php?54-S40-V50-(2005-Current) It's an amazing community for the P1 Volvos and there are plenty of informative threads for maintenance, modifications, and inspiration.

[@iand.4291]

What are those gauges going up the left column of the interior of the car when night driving is shown? And where can I find them haha

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Boost/Vac (a mandatory gauge in any turbo car, in my opinion) and a volt meter for the sound system I had in this car. The A-pillar gauge pod was something I built.

[@extrabass287]

sounds like a m3

[@romesl.2246]

do you know what mudflaps those were? do you have coilovers on the car?

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

OEM mudflaps from Volvo. This car was on Evolve (Elevate) lowering springs.

[@romesl.2246]

MyNameIdeasWereTaken how was the ride quality? i plan to lower mine but I'm unsure if it'll be comfortable

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

That's a hard question to answer. The roads are great in my area and I am used to the stiff suspensions on track cars. It's also going to be entirely dependent upon what shocks/struts you pair the springs with, how your dampening is set, and what brand/size tires you run. Overall, it was firmer than stock and took a corner quite nicely, and I found it to be very smooth and not harsh when going over bumps. Others have run similar setups and said it was a back breaker. Unfortunately, it's impossible to say how the ride will feel to you, everyone has a different opinion.

[@MrXman008]

What kind of headlights are those?

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Factory bi-xenon headlights, just with the chrome blacked out. Check out my ProjectV50 series for how it was done.

[@arturomendez5242]

what parts do you have left

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

+Arturo Mendez I sold everything, sorry!

[@skapooosh]

where can i get this and does it work for 2010 s40 2.4i

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

You can cut the muffler off of any car to make it louder. On an NA, you may experience a slight loss of low end torque and potentially worse fuel economy. Anyone with a hack saw an the ability to weld pipe can build a muffler delete. Check for local exhaust shops.

[@danemx5]

Do you loose power at all by doing this?

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Not on a T5. You'll gain a little bit of power by removing the restrictive stock muffler. However, a high flow muffler can give even better results by maintaining a slight back pressure for the turbo.

[@theodor12]

Sounds like a group b audi quattro.

[@swedishguitarist1]

Where did you get that body kit?

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Custom front lip and rear diffuser, stock side skirts with the OEM mudflaps.

Was the exhaust annoying ? Did you remove it ?

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Vakho Akobia FWD, was putting out just over 250whp and roughly 300ftlbs at the wheels with a steady 18psi. Stock these cars only had 218hp at the crank and peaked at 10psi, so a noticeable improvement.

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

+Arturo Mendez Yep, it sold fall of 2014. Took it back to stock and sold most of the parts. Enjoying my C30 now, it's quite a bit faster.

[@andrewbenjack727]

Looking at getting a t5. Is this the automatic? It sounds like it has a tune cause it seems to be shifting quite quick.

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

Yes, this one was automatic. Tuned by Elevate, boost would hold around 18psi.

[@andrewbenjack727]

Does the car shift for you at redline in manual mode or will it bounce off the limiter?

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

There is an inconsistency with this... In Drive, if you push the pedal past the kick down, it will accelerate and only shift once it hits redline. However, I ONLY drove this car in geartronic manual mode. During autocross events, I could keep this car at 7000rpm (redline is 6500rpm) without any problems of the car trying to shift for me. A few other people with different model years have experienced the same. But then many people have said when they're in manual mode, the car would automatically shift once it hit the redline point. Something to note is that the automatic has a torque limiter. My gear changes in my manual from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd are much faster than what you see in this video with the auto. The manual cars are also significantly faster off the line since there is no torque limiter and better gear ratios with 6 gears instead of 5. Shark Performance can remove the torque limiter from autos if you desire.

[@Webrisernl]

How many horsepower?

[@MyNameIdeasWereTaken]

If I remember right, this car was around 260whp with all the bolt ons and a "Stage3" tune.

[@wbhard3029]
