It Sounds Faster, But Is It? Custom Exhaust & Headers - The 850 Project S2E04

Video Description

►After all of the work we've done to our 850 Project, its exhaust left a lot to be desired. A 5-cylinder Volvo has a unique soundtrack even with the stock exhaust, but when upgraded, that always recognizable exhaust note wakes up and sounds more like a 90's track weapon than that of your grandmother's family hauler. And while the noise is what's most apparent about our new exhaust, the intention was to create a freer flowing design that supported our new engine modifications. In this episode of The 850 Project, Josh Briggs, Owner of 8eightFab, joins us in the shop to help fabricate our custom 5-to-1 exhaust system for the Volvo 850. In less than five days, our crusty exhaust system is removed, and a brand-new high-rise header is designed, fabricated, and installed. Besides that, one more piece of the puzzle is worked out, and that's removing our modified factory ECU and replacing it with a Megasquirt unit. After all of this is done, we take it to the dyno once again to see where what kind of power our quickly evolving 850 makes.
