cherry bombs usually don't usually give a stock exhaust note ;)

i know
but the huge super restrictive suitcase looking muffler didn't cut it, plus the stock on kinda got a hole in it :unsure: so i replace it all

There are few cars that don't look stock on this board.

A R bumper is not that different from stock. Nor is 17 inch rims.

as for "not burnin tires" , i read a great article in car and driver magazine comparing several tires to a high performance PRICEY one

dunlop derrezi (however u spell it) dz-101 tires were amazing in all catagories (damn near as good as tires 3x the price)

it was either car and driver vol.55 no.2 or no.3

my point is - those dunlops are my next tires , no doubt

Should think about the tune first. There are a bunch of people with decently sized turbos that don't put down 'nice hp numbers'.

Definitely need an appropriate tune. I'm waiting for a revised tune to take advantage of my 20g. The tune I had was good for 330BHP on a 19T/KKK24 (I got 282WHP out of it). Without the right tune, you'll never see any real power.

my stock looking Volvo


Stage III tune 15psi boost, removed condenser, horns to bring intercooler in front 2 1/2 cherry bomb exhaust idk about 400bhp but its fun to tweet off the Honda boys :D

and just what honda guys are you speaking of? The honda guys around would roast on any volvo in this forum...track, street, doesn't matter. 400whp cars that weight not much more than a ton are nothing to shake a stick at. I think you're talking about hondas with fart cans...that aren't fast. Congrats on messing with slow cars, go pick on somebody your own size :P

When I think about it, all the volvos running garrett turbos or any other large turbo and built engine capable of +400hp are all cars that have straight through 3" full exhausts and probably wouldn't have a chance at passes smog.

Are their any official sleepers on this board? A sleeper being a car that is completely stock looking/sounding.

I'll take you for a rip down the track in Sparta in the Spring B) After that I think I'll get my ass kicked out :lol:

That is the comment I get most about our 850t (it looks stock!)

It may be cheaper and less time consuming to save up and buy a used C5 z06 or CTS-V, which is guaranteed to blow the door off most cars on the street and function reliably as a daily driver.
