    I rescently bought a 98 V70 (my first Volvo) and I really enjoy the
    car. After driving it for awhile I noticed that the exhaust (or engine)
    noise it just a tad loud. The sound is throaty and resonant so I don't
    mind it much but it seems to be more noticable to my wife. Is this just
    characteristic of this car or should I replace the muffler?

    It is not typical at all. My 98 V70 is very quiet. I still have the
    orginal exhaust system after 204K but when I had an exhaust noise last
    year it turned out to be the flexible coupler between the manifold and
    the exhaust system - much more expensive than a simple muffler
    replacement unfortunately.

    Any muffler shop will put your car on a hoist and show you where it is
    leaking.
