Thank you!! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video and I appreciate you commenting! These S80s really are awesome rides! If by any chance you're looking to add some extra depth to your sound system, I recently uploaded a tutorial that details how to wire up an aftermarket sub and amp in these cars. The process was surprisingly easy and straightforward, so if you haven't already, make sure to check that video out too! Happy motoring!

The thought has crossed my mind! I've been thinking a muffler bypass valve may be the solution to having the best of both worlds, but haven't been able to justify the cost or time that would go into that yet. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

@@RideOnBudget I replaced the right side rear muffler with an exhaust valve. So when closed it all goes out through the left muffler. I’ve uploaded a few clips.

I just watched your video, it sounds amazing!! Plus that's quite a clever set up!

@@RideOnBudget Thank you!

Good to know. I've never driven one with the fixed suspension, but I'd be curious to see how it rides. That's cool about fitting taller tires on yours, what size did you end up going for? And are your wheels 17s or 18s? As for the stereo upgrade, I've read that there are many hurdles to jump in order to switch over to a Dynaudio set up. I ended up swapping out the speakers for aftermarket ones on my car, and added a subwoofer to the system as well. It really made a huge difference, so if you're wanting some more dimension to your system, that may be a route worth considering. Check out the other videos on my channel, I made one which concisely details how to add a subwoofer to the factory system.

@@RideOnBudget I dont know if there are any other kind of a fixed suspension, but the specs say it is a comfort suspension in my car. As for the tyres currently I have the brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 5's in size 245/45ZR18. I absolutely do not know why this is not the original size as it works much better. And the speedometer is exactly spot on with this size. I don't know if I did got undestood about the Dynaudio. I ment to say that my car has the 12 speaker Dynaudio and I have looked couple of times to upgrading it. It is really hard to find an aftermarket speakers to it. I'm just afraid that it really needs to be better and not downgrade. As for the subwoofer it is not an option for me as I still need the whole trunk space couple of times in a month.

Thanks for the info on the strut tower bearing. Did you ever replace yours? And if so, have you found them to sound like that since new? Or do they just wear out way too easily? As for the 4C, 10s of thousands of miles later, it still seems to be in order. Each mode has it's own unique feel to it, and with that, it's own set of advantages and disadvantages. While the mating of the shocks and struts to the springs may not be ideal, it seems to work well enough. I have yet to drive any other P3 Volvos with the adjustable suspension, so it's impossible for me to gauge how different it all may be. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@@RideOnBudget I replaced 3 times and it always kept happening within a couple months. NYC has some really bad roads, I have resorted to routing my commute on newer roads. Apparently there is an updated bearing (labeled for XC90) but it seems elusive. Thats according to FCP at least. They also advised me about the lowering springs on the 4C, but if it seems fine at this point, I may throw springs in there next time I have the shocks out for the bearings. What brand spring did you use?

@@lotoinelegatsby4143 Thanks for the information! I may have to do some further looking into on those updated bearings. It's a bummer replacing yours with the standard ones didn't fix anything longer term, but I appreciate getting that information second hand from you, instead of having to figure it out myself the hard way myself! The roads where I'm at in California aren't that great either unfortunately, so I can relate. When it comes to the my lowering springs, a previous owner was responsible for their installation, so I'm really not sure what brand they may be. I actually didn't even know the car was lowered until after buying it, and I'm not sure if the owner before me knew it was lowered either. The springs are red in color though, for what it's worth. I also should mention, the owner before me had recently replaced the front struts before selling the car. While I'm not certain, I'm assuming that was done after the car was lowered. So, just as a fair warning, the shocks and especially front struts may not take well to being lowered after sitting at a different ride height for so long. Years ago I lowered a 940 Turbo on stock struts/shocks and it totally toasted them. It all worked out though, because it gave me an excuse to upgrade that car to Konis! ;)

Elevate cars has performance springs for the s80's that are compatible with the 4C suspension. I have them on my s80 t6 with 4C and have had no issues with them.

That's a bummer, but at least you've got the sound of the V8 to fall back on! It's unusual that all of the channels would go out at once, usually if an amplifier is going bad it will start to drop a channel at a time. When you get a chance, check your connections to make sure everything is tight, and see if any related fuses have popped too. Hopefully it's just one of those two things.

@@RideOnBudget lol thank god but yeah I have that, but yeah the front channels went out a week ago I think and today I think it was all of them but I’ll do that see what I come up with

@@DakahriGT Ah, that's a bummer... It may be the amplifier in that case. I think the amp is under the passenger seat. Unfortunately, water can get down there if your sunroof drains are clogged, I've had that issue myself, but so far my amp's been okay (knock on wood). I'm in the process of making a video on how to go about fixing that, so stay tuned. If the amp is shot, your best bet may be to get the part number off it and try and find a replacement at a wrecker, or on eBay. Good luck with getting everything sorted out!

Not a full size tho right?

@@izzyerickson7581 Mines is full size. The inside of the trunk is different from what he showed in this video. Mines have a panel on the floor part of the trunk that you unscrew and it comes up and that's where the spare and tools are.

Oh nice, I've been hearing from a few people that theirs came with spares as well. I guess it was one of the few options that didn't get added to my car back when it was new.

Ya mean The elvis voice mode?..😁

Gearbox won’t handle a supercharger or a turbo! The gearbox is at max power from the naturally aspirated engine.
