It doesn't quite look like it but there is just enough room for two 300's, pretty easily with the cupboards removed on one side. You see where I'm going with this one...

Do it, and then you can say that you've got more roadworthy and used 300's than Foggy (the Volvo Owners Club 300 series register keeper!)

Well took it for it's MOT this weekend, passed first time with no advisories. I had a feeling there was an exhaust leak but seems it must just be an aftermarket noisier than standard part! Probably some rubblish like Bosal

Thanks Tom!
We'll see, I wouldn't hold out much hope for finding NOS parts!

It might be worth having a stainless system made I guess as the 360 exhausts, especially aftermarket never seem to last that long

Maybe I'll combine it one of Dai's 360 manifolds.

On my old daily, the (Bosal) spaghetti-shaped rear silencer was the main problem with a replacement needed every 2-3 years. The center section tended to last a bit longer ...

This one's pretty cheap:

They usually cost a bit more than that, even Bosal ones.

I found I have a NOS middle box and back box in the garage, although the backbox is meant for a saloon and is a straight through Mk2 style, so not sure if that'll even fit and may protrude at a strange angle anyway

That's a good price though, will keep it in mind

I have a straight through mk2 back box, but its a different more to the mid section

Had a feeling they changed the bore on certain years as I've had that problem with used exhausts before. Will have to see what works out!
