Wagoneer855 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaitz Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I doubt many of the big turbo cars with loud exhaust have 400+hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbodor3 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 If you are interested in doing it, definitely would be possible. I'm sure tons of the rwd guys have done it, I'm always seeing old rwd volvos at drags. No way you could keep the stock exhaust though, but with the right pieces you could make it sound pretty quiet/stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbor850 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Not all of them do/did 3'' downpipe with cat to a 2 1/2 '' iPD exhaust and from the front looked bone stock also, no fmic, had the ATec intercooler between radiator and a/c condenser thats why it was fun racing people cause they looked and saw a stock volvo with an auto trans and laughed . . . I doubt many of the big turbo cars with loud exhaust have 400+hp. true, but cruising around you would never think 400 + hp . . .but when I stepped on it, then you knew . . especially at the dyno day at EPL when it sounded like a jet taking off :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagoneer855 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 haha I never meant the actual stock exhaust, I meant quiet like stock. I like how when I have my cut-out closed my car is as close to stock as it can get with the EST cat-back, but my car sure doesn't look stock anymore. Turbor850, that's pretty cool! That's what I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagoneer855 Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 cherry bombs usually don't usually give a stock exhaust note ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maciekb2002 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I did 300hp at the wheels , so close to 350hp at the crank running super rich , it is not hard to make it look stock again just OEM wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sconeman Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 here's someone who comes to mind. but I guess it doenst fit the stockish exhaust bill. What car is though pushing 400 hp at the crank? http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php/topic/64863-project-blackt5/page__st__340 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilled man Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I dont think anyone here is even close to 400whp at all maybe 400hp thats about it. If and when I get my ass in gear I am going to be stupid and go gt35 since I already have the exhuast manifold lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bah Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I'd think if you did electric cut outs or something of the sort, that'd be a huge up to this exhaust situation..and lmfao..they'll know your coming =p I'd think it to be entirely possible with a 19t...just keep the CBV(upgrade it to that VIVA spring or whatnot)..stock airbox so no loud "WOOSH"..dremel it out some...Then people will barely even know you have a volvo =0 I think Volans look good..but if you really wanna creep some folk out..get some Cetus..nothing says "omfg that cars slowww" like a 15 inch boring arse ri...m =) It always makes things fun in my 93. stock grille and everything. Tune..i would do the IPD drop in intercooler upgrade. Rebuild the bottom end of the engine. Coilovers or w/e the adjustable type of suspension...Apparently they make electronic coilovers (idk about for our cars) ..of course were talking just massive ammounts of money here, but just imagine this. You pull up to that mustang GT. They turn their head to the right. You turn yours to the left to realize its not a panzy V6 jerk-off mustang owner, just a regular semi-jack-off mustang GT owner, who hates the V6 owners himself =p He just drives by and floors it. You catch up to him at the red light. You both drive with your windows down. He just starts revving it. You go "hmmm.." ...You press 3 buttons...First all of a sudden your car starts to lower...then this loud "RASP RASP RASP" starts to appear...then you dial into your EBC and start pushing 20 PSI... Needless to say this guy would just look over and go "uhhhh did NOT see that coming =) " just thoughts..but definitely true sleeper, with true performance, 'seems' like it has its price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilled man Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 dude, get a hold of reality... you are not running 400 LOL agreed maybe 300hp Dude lol 19t maybe 300 whp but no way 400 hp at all with it you will need at least a garret no volvo turbo will ever get close.

Fake-R Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 And what a horrible story, a Mustang? Really? The wagon, completely stock minus the 5spd, out ran my friends 07 Mustang GT. Last track day, all the new Mustangs were still in the low 15's, high 14's, with I/E. And no way are you ever going to get a 19T to make 400whp. Well, I suppose never say never, but it's just not very practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
