Volvo

Volvo is often associated with solid cars, strong engines and a more understated look than many classic performance cars. But exactly for that reason, a good cat-back exhaust can make a big difference. On models such as 240, 740, 850, S/V40, S60, V70 and the more sporty turbo and T5 variants, the exhaust can help give the car more life without ruining its original character.

A Simons cat-back exhaust replaces the rear section of the exhaust system from the catalytic converter and backwards. This gives the car a more noticeable sound, a better rear finish and a more complete look from behind, without necessarily having to change the downpipe, catalytic converter or engine management.

On Volvo models with turbo engines, a cat-back upgrade is especially well suited. It can provide a deeper and fuller exhaust tone that suits the car’s engine and setup better than the often very discreet original exhaust. On older Volvo models, the upgrade can also give the car a fresher and more sporty appearance.

Simons makes model-specific cat-back systems where the pipe routing, mounts and tailpipes are made for the individual Volvo model. This gives a cleaner installation, better positioning under the car and a solution that feels more complete than a universal exhaust.

For many Volvo owners, the upgrade is not about making the car excessive, but about getting a more solid and sporty exhaust that suits the car’s character. This is where Simons is a good choice, because the systems combine a discreet performance look, good fitment and a sound that gives the car more personality.

The systems are typically supplied in stainless steel, which provides good durability against rust, moisture and road salt. This is a clear advantage on Volvos used all year round, especially on older models where the original exhaust can often be worn, rusty or visually tired.

If you want to give your Volvo more sound, a better finish and a stronger rear appearance without making the car excessive, a Simons cat-back exhaust is a solid and model-specific upgrade for everyday use, tuning and performance builds.
