Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

And i've had an JR open air filter on my 480ES for 2 years now.<br>Works fine, although i had to relocate it from the original place.<br>The JR filter is fitted to the throttle housing, and there it gets too much hot air.<br>Beside the radiator on the left side (seen from front) there is a plate.<br>I made a hole in this, and put the filter all the way in the front of the car to get as much cool air as possible.<br>It requires some aditional hosing, but works fine, with a nice torque in the low end, and nice sound.<br><br>RH.<br> <p></p><i></i>
