Today we turn the big turbo LS6 Volvo wagon into a TRUE sleeper by fabricating a quiet exhaust system for it. The exhaust is constructed of 3.5" stainless steel pipe, a vibrant performance muffler, a borla muffler, and is 100% tig welded.

What waste gate brand and size u are running?
I've got an LS powered 242 -- love following along. Are you gonna revisit your tune after you do the full exhaust?
Where did you order the pipe from?
"quiet as possible" instals straight pipe size of a babys head
No purging?
that cam sensor has kicked your ass twice. replace the pins in the connector, before it kicks your ass for a third time lol
How has his hair still not grown back since he cut it 😂 I can’t take him seriously bald
Is it AWD?
What generation 7875?
You should lower the car down from the ramp just to make sure it clears the driveshaft enough
ok wasnt the same but close ^^.
Play a Volvo diesel inline 5 sound 🤣🤣
you have to bring to some events, just to make people notice because for the level of work that you put in these videos you should be getting more views
Day 5 of asking Caleb to do an in-depth video once the Volvo is finished about all his cars including, everything that has been done to them, what the specs of them are, what the original plans for them were, what the plans are now, and how the plans have changed.
One word: Talent.
Pro Tip for welding V Bands: Clamp the entire V Band assembly together (both side and the clamp) and it'll help stop it from warping!
Your mufflers are straight throught type so it will always have a rumble. You could try fabricating a better chamber type muffler
Does having it run "quiet" all the time really make a big difference in HP. Not SOO much. I might be wrong, but it's not a funny car with 2000 ps where it'd matter. Just needs to be tuned for a tiny bit of back pressure. Ok, being annoyingly loud is it's own endgame. but really... on THIS build, with such an Oma's car... why? Just blow the doors off of em, nice n quiet. :) Just adds to the humiliation, and no massive electronic systems needed.
yo registration expired
you're gonna hear a V8 no matter what exhaust is on there. especially aftermarket. you could've gone with a new stock silverado muffler since those are quiet. i know mine is. but then you're downsizing to less than 3.5" and even in stock silverados there's a low grumble. 3.5" is gonna sound burly regardless, aftermarket is gonna sound burly regardless. on the plus side, you have the added comfort of owning a hotrod without that horrible exhaust drone that everyone's drunk uncle with a big block fails to admit is the reason they never drive it!
Finally someone did this!
Bro, do u still have the blue miata, if so, how much would it cost if u were to sell it? I mean the one that u blew the diffrelcial in
u need a car that was made after 2010
my favourite car is volvo 264
Do you plan on welding / swapping the diff on that thing? Most people don't check what kind of crusty diff you've got, and old audis have some pretty nifty diffs.
Maybe of you put a stock resonator it'll quiet it down a little more and it won't take up a lot of space since its a straight piece
Definitely add the speaker to hide the ls engine sounds...
the reason why it’s not that quiet is because those were resonators not mufflers, if you can see straight through it...it’s a resonator
Excellent job 👍
Should’ve just tucked in the exhaust without the tip out, now that would be real sleeper
I'm surprised no one mentioned installing a varex xforce muffler to have quiet or loud by a click of a button. They have mufflers for a 3.5" piping.
The Volvo B21 or B23 you almost never hear in the engine bay with a closed hood. What you hear mostly is the high noice from the clutch fan on the engine LOL. So a big noicey fan that follows the RPMs could get it to sound like a Volvo engine LOL. In Sweden we call them the hay dryer fan the oem ones LMAO. You did an awesome job on the exhaust. I have heard so many exhaust on 240s that where only 2"-2 1/2" that's scrambling against the chassi. Especially when they are lowered it can be hard to get clearance over the rear axle. But most don't think that the rear axle is not in ride height on a 2 post lift. It's easier done on a 4 post lift when you still have the ride height properly at place. Either way it's impresive to fit a 3 1/2" exhaust on an old Volvo or any other car modells with small engines in them. The oem size exhaust is 1 3/4" on 240/740. So double the diameter is not easy to build that great that you did!
I can’t wait to see the collab video! Your videos inspired me to do some work on my car:)
Spark plug gap
i love this idea very much. It's too easy to make a slow car loud but it will take a wizard to make a monster sounds like baby fart... like a true sleeper should be.
you have to add a misfiring switch and would be perfect jajaja
Just found your channel and had to sub. Your enthusiasm is awesome and I love sleeper wagons so how could I not... I wish I lived closer to ATL so I could see the vagon in person.. There's a sedan of same year that's just been sitting for a decade close by so I'm going to watch this build to see if it is something I want to tackle..
throw a 4 or 4.5" it will loose less power and still sound fairly quiet. regardless, dope car!
crazy what they do with this cars in sweden
please fix the rust
You can almost cancel out the engine sound with active noise canceling. Luxury cars mostly have it. Google it. Its insane what it can do.
when broken it sounds cammed friggin mint
to be honest you just ls swapped your daily keep driving it like a lol its amazing love it
Seeing this in person vs on video is WAY different that was a cool experience I’m looking forward to that review video!
Pls fix the rust at the back plssssss
Dude wtf ive been gone so long i had to see for my self was watching your videos wayyy back when the miata was just starting and now you have a fucking awd miata wtf
install the speakers in the engine bay
Shame you aren't coming a week later for caffeine and octane, that would be fun.
Clean setup on the exhaust man, you can prolly try adding on resonators where there's space. Cause I pretty much have a similar in concept sleeper build, a 1jz swapped Merc W124, full 3 inch turbo back exhaust system with 1 muffler (which joins to twin tips that looks stock xD) in the rear, a resonator in the middle and a resonator after the downpipe. Thing is quiet till you floor it and people around go O_O
Fix the rust
Buy one of those engine noise emulators. You know those tin can exhaust looking boxes. One of them must have a proper Volvo audio track on there. Match it up with your throttle pedal and you got something😂👌🏻
Nice! This is definitely a cool sleeper! Sound deadening inside for sure. Also, a resonator in that straight section would adjust the sound too! I think it sounds good though! Either way, nice build man!!
I suggest a EGT-kit, or maybe if there is a plugin to Holly, it's priceless for troubleshooting to see if one cylinder is down or getting to hot or something (Y)
Awesome build series! I'm in Australia, and I've been trying to plan an upcoming 240 build. sadly our laws are much stricter then over there, but I'm definitely looking at a ls1 swap even though I'm a ford guy. i was looking into doing a bf230 turbo engine, but for the price and work, it seems like a better option to go with the ls1 if i can do it legally. thanks heaps for the effort and information
Add a resinator if you can in that straight section
Paint it black
Sounds like a truck
a resonator will help more than a muffler for the drone on the highway
🔥🔥🔥🔥
look at some diesel mufflers to make it quiter
Dude put a cat in it. Smell of fumes is not sleeper. That will quiet it up too. Best of all worlds.
There's a freaking quote: "Building an exhaust is like putting together a puzzle... except you have to make your own pieces and melt it together with lightning."
LOVE THIS!!!! Finally a performance build that is complete!!! Walk Softly and carry a BIG STICK!!! Love the Q-Ships!!! Props to you for making this!
Thats hysterical! Im sure david is gonna love it.
Bro... put some tint on that thing
Is that a foot well/storage well next to the spare tire well? Removing those will open a lot of space for extra stuff.
or is that the fuel tank?
I see this thing getting wild at a burnout comp! Would be one hell of a sight to see!
Could do a super silent exhaust with a vacuum actuated cutout
Please put a rod nock speaker that would be gold
Just cruizing through the comments, nobody mentioned vaccum/boost leak. If intake manifold is leaking more/less air on that side/over that port, or those couple cylinders. Just a thought
diesel knocking in the engine bay :D
I remember when you couldn’t do the truck exhaust but now look at you knocking out that exhaust hood stuff
im just waiting for the drift truck and awd Miata to be their next
Could do with some heat reflective shielding in certain areas under there, especially on the gearbox.
As he mentioned it i was about too comment about the power wire🤣
Add one more muffler
Sounds great!
cant wait for TDiBs video!!
Don't do the speaker thing. It's just stupid
Yo where do you get all of this sick music?
`Nice power wagon. (Real men drive wagons) Do you have plans for a driveshaft / tails shaft loop for safety..... Many aftermarket units available....Protect yourself from the weakest link....
Change the trunk
Epic car man! What year and color is this volvo?
The speaker idea's brilliant, would need a good sound file to sound convincing though
Super awesome! If you have issues with drone frequencies at all you can add 1/4 wave helmholtz tubes to knock out those frequencies. All you need to do is branch off a peice of capped tubing 1/4 wavelength (of the dominant drone frequency) from your exhaust (doesn't have to be big pipe I think even 1.25 would be fine) and the reflected frequency will cancel the drone frequency.
Are you gonna fix the rust a little bit. Its gonna fall apart xd
Paint it all black
Speaker idea is great. Think out of the box. Also like the stock muffler tip idea. Cut out will be awesome.
You can just make a dual 1.5" tips, would be super clean an less ugly lol
There's a old saying in Sweden, "pimping a Volvo is like putting lipstick on a pig". With that said, really cool build! :)
@Fox T it’s not as bad as in Germany, sounds like Austria is as bad. =) Not sure about all the rules but there’s certainly modified cars on the road here. As long as the car gets through “besiktning” (tüf) it’s legal, apparently there are some inspectors that let car through for some cash on the side... then there are many types of registrations if I understand it correctly but I guess they cost more and are more rigorous,
yo how is car tuning in sweden? here in austria its pretty much illegal, that car would be impoundet the first time you start it up and you will get a 5000€ fine for driving without a cat :p
Nice car ! Can someone give me the Name of the Outro-Beat ? I love it
Subbed from Sweden. Mighty fine 240 u've got there :)
Its fucking mint
You are going so hard on the sleeper part of this build I love it!
You know you are cutting your pie cuts very very wrong. You should use a piece of straight pipe and basically cut it in a big zig zag. You are wasting so much money and materials.
Its a rustbucket 240 that is at least 40years old. since the body is in bad shape people will think that the exhaust is also rusted off and making it louder.Perfect sleeper
No ones gonna know anything about the exhaust because nobody knows anything about these cars lol 😂 you’re over thinking it
Too throaty why didn't you fit an exhaust cut out that shuts the big pipe off to send it out the stock pipe and a press of a button it opens the big pipe the small diameter will restrict power a bit but more fun when you need the power press button and it is the bigbore or maybe have it work from the throttle the more you press the accelerator the more open the pipe becomes a lot of muscle cars run them sleeper to keep nieghbours happy then playing you can open it up overide throttle sensor for immediate instead of gradual. Nice build you might want to at least weld in a hatch step before the tailgate pops open with the locking latch common in the UK just buy the repair panel no need to pretty it weld in spray with rust inhibitor and leave
I love quiet
What's your po box? You need some more safety glasses around the shop
