RogueLeader Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Looking at the IPD exhaust system - from turbo back. Have the "rain squeal" problem and looking for upgrades. Who has used the IPD kit and how's the performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glm409 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I have the IPD downpipe and installation was easy (once I got the old one off!). I bought the Mototec Eurosport Turning Sport catback system first (it was on sale) to get rid of the squeal and to replace the original exhaust. The sound is very aggressive, but the kids and wife don't mind so I'm sticking with it. I scored the IPD downpipe when it went on sale.

ConorV70R Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 http://www.snabb.us/Volvo-S60R-V70R-304-Stainless-Steel-Performance-Exhaust-_p_178.html you can go this route. pricey but these sound amazing. cheapest route would be to get a muffler shop to fab you an exhaust up. then you can choose what exhaust you want. remember to go with a straight through design for better flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueLeader Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I ordered the IPD turbo back kit. It gets installed this week. The ECU tune is next, but I see that IPD doesn't have the softloader: https://www.ipdusa.com/products/4669/112072-ipd-soft-loader-engine-managment-flash-tune?crumbs=P0,P7756 Are there any other ECU tunes? I still think the IPD stuff is a bit spendy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueLeader Posted August 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I love the sound of the 5cyl Volvo turbo's with exhaust kits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConorV70R Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Also I just noticed you're in Colorado. Check out JZW tuning as well since he's local to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 All the high end exhaust systems are all around the $800 mark, give or take $100. If you wanted a cheap and good quality bolt on exhaust/catless DP look for OBX systems. The p80 guys love them and I'm looking at them for a cattless DP and muffler for my c30R. The IPD softloader looks like it's being replaced by a new product. Have you asked them when they are releasing it? And as it states you can still send your ECU in to get tune. And to do that is less "spendy" than the softloader. But again a lot of the tunes run around the same price give or take. The lower cost ones are the "homebrew tuners" Hilton, JZW, Beusted, Steveo, etc. The big boys like IPD (MTE), Eurosporttuning (Rica), Elevate (Autotech) are all disturbing heavy hitters from Europe that put a lot more R&D to get a tune right from the start than the seat of your pants riding shotgun tunes. Some folks call them "custom" vs. "off the shelf" which they are. The off the shelf you can flash it and go, the other you might have to spend time having it tweaked to be perfect. Both will get you what you want, more power, its just the method on getting there that's different. Personally I'd go for a local tune (custom or off the shelf) you'll have them immediately to help you if anything goes wrong vs. having to wait for them to get back to you... I have a off the shelf Speedtuning tune, he's 30min from my place. I don't know anything about JZW tunes but looks like a good product. Also I don't think he's tuning ME7 cars but Beusted is in Colorado too. Might be worth seeing if he does. Also do yourself a favor and stay away from ARD!

V70r carbon Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 What is "rain squeal" from an IPD cat-back exhaust? I'm looking to buy one for my 2005 VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjdavieshall Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Rain Squeal is noise when heat distortion in the factory Exhaust mount/shroud to deflect and touch the prop shaft. Extreme to heavy water on road way lets you enjoy that noise. Factory has a steel cable support kit to replace the support. . . lot of posts elsewhere on this.
