Hi, im tom and from the Uk, I own a red 360 2.0 GLT 5dr with 57k on the clock, and loving it! This is the second volvo I own other being a 460 turb.

Anyone know where I can pick up and Exhuast system and a 4-2-1 for the 360 im having trouble finding any performance parts at all for these cars.

Welcome to the forum. Some europeans made some 4-2-1 manifolds a while back I believe, but they weren't designed with RHD steering columns in mind. Best bet is a custom made one unfortunately. Or one with a turbo attached. :)

I thought these cars were popular in the drift scene so why the lack of parts? I love em! the retro style torquey engine and rwd FTW

Most of the drifters use renault lumps, and tubular fannymolds are easily available for those. But the volvo engines don't really have the same support in this country. The crazy Scandanavians have every tuning part you could imagine, but they haven't really caught on here.
Even in the drift world, 300s are seen as a learner skid car, one to practice hitting kerbs with until you can afford a 325. [/cynical]
