The engines probably just getting old and it is a huge car for such a small engine to pull along. Super-unleaded could help a bit, or try simply getting it tuned properly, it may just be it needs a slightly stronger mix of fuel. For around £350 you can get a turbo fitted to those too which makes a huge difference.
ACTUALLY, if you just had an exhaust fitted and its a Carb not injection they had a twin carb system that may not be getting the exhaust gases it needs to activate. This means you only have one carb working whch is like having a low pressure turbo car without the turbo working.

In the North American market that car with the 2.3 liter motor required periodic valve adjustments. You might speak to a Volvo technician in your area about the service requirements for the 2.0 motor in the European market.

decarbonize the valves and induction system with BG products.
check all air intake hoses for holes/and oil damage will colapase the hoses also under accel.
dont worry about performance products like bigger wires/pulgs ETC.
just use the wr7dc bosch plugs.
make sure your breather system is clear too
