This is between catalytic converter & rear mufflers. Per Volvo "when a front or center part of the exhaust system is to be replaced, the rear part must also be replaced, if it has not been replaced already."

Perhaps it is obvious, but the purpose of an exhaust pipe is to safely ventilate the toxic carbon monoxide in the exhaust fumes away from the car and its occupants because it can kill you. Keep in mind carbon monoxide is also odorless so be sure to check your system for leaks.

The original parts used by Volvo to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Volvo” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Volvo, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Volvo Dealership network. You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Volvo are not necessarily manufactured by Volvo. No cause for concern, as Volvo designs the part, hires a manufacturer and ensures its quality to you, including a lifetime warranty. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Volvo for decades and are experts in their own right. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) or OES (Original Equipment Suppliers), and are often brands you recognize including Bosch, KYB, NGK and Sachs. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Volvo parts box and find a NGK branded part inside. If you are looking to buy Genuine Volvo Parts online then you’ve come to the right place.
