What Volvo parts do you make?

The resonator turbo boost charger intake pipe for the XC90, XC70, S60 and V70, available in both silicone and rubber versions. It replaces the restrictive original resonator arrangement with a straightforward pipe.

Silicone or rubber version?

Silicone comes in blue, black and red, will not perish or harden with age, and handles far higher temperatures - the better long-term choice and the one most people pick. The rubber version is the more discreet like-for-like option if you want the engine bay to look standard.

What does the resonator do, and why remove it?

The original resonator is a noise-damping chamber in the intake tract. Replacing it with a plain pipe removes a restriction and a known failure point - the original plastic item cracks with age and heat, causing boost leaks, poor running and fault codes. You will notice a little more intake noise.

Which models does it fit?

XC90, XC70, S60 and V70. As with any vehicle-specific part, check the engine and year against the listing - and if you are unsure, send us your registration or photos of the existing part with a tape measure alongside and we will confirm before you order.

What are the symptoms of a failed original?

Boost leak symptoms: sluggish acceleration, a whistling or hissing under load, reduced power, and often a boost pressure fault code. The crack is frequently on the underside where it is not obvious, so it is worth removing the part to inspect rather than eyeballing it in place.

Do I need clips?

Some listings offer clips as an option at checkout. Where they are not included, we stock stainless worm drive clips and T-bolt clamps in every matching size. On a boost pipe, T-bolt clamps are the better choice - they hold tension far better through heat cycling.
