I've never heard them on the volvo's but they sound great on VWs. Gregg is installing a borla on his 850R If I Recall Correctly.

Actually I used Borla on my car and I really like the sound...a bit more resonance than I like but a nice sound...forgive the pic it's a mock up system and I have to take it back down and match bend the whole thing now that's its done ...I guess this link will un zip my fly for the puter savy guys wink.gif
