My wife owns a 1996 850 T-5 wagon. I reguarly receive mail catalogs from ipd. THey sell performance parts for Volvos only.
This company offers very similar upgrade parts as Saab vendors. However, the Saab mods are always lower in price. I mean the chip upgrades,exhaust, downpipes,wheels,suspension parts, everything. I only buy from them so i cannot compare other Volvo venders.
for instance...i'm working from memory so i am close.
ECM upgrade for the 850 is $900...add a cat-back and the total $1399
ECM upgrade for 9000 is $5-600...add a cat-back and the total less than $1k
Volvo downpipe with race cat $1400
Saab downpipe (9000) with highflow cat $400
Perhaps the high price points relate to the Swedish currency. The dollar is relatively low compared to their currency (can't think of the name).
