So yeah im excited to say that im buying a genuinesaab 3" downpipe for 150$ because a friend of mine has an older saab 9000 pushing 300 horsepower... and he blew the motor... therefor he feels its not a good investment to dump hard earned money into a car thats 16 years old... good for me i guess right? im also buying a t3-60trim turbo off of him good for 400horsepower for 200$ with less that 5k miles on it... im so happy right now? Tiss the season right? haha
Downpipes are about 280$ to buy online anywhere... so im saving 130$ right there.... bargain? ide say so haha. anyways... anyone else get a hold of any good deals?

Holy shmack you're lucky... I keep looking for wheels in a pricerange, but nothing comes up. I've got all my parts full price at GS.

Yeah! I get all of my parts through Genuinesaab. I bought a 2 1/2" delivery pipe off them with the Silicone kit... it works amazing.. much better flow and looks good under the hood

but yeah im happy... have you heard good things about 9000 strut bars... do they make a good difference.

haven't heard any feedback on them, but anything made by GS usually is proven...can't think of anything that's not a good product from them.

yeah definitly a good point man. I love Genuinesaab... good service and cheap shipping. im really hoping that once i get my 3" downpipe and full custom 3" exhaust on.. it gains a decent amount of power. from whati hear it makes alot more power over stock

.. another question.. do you know what the lifespan on a downpipe and exhaust is? i mean do they rust easilly? feedback would be appreciated. thanks.

well my version of the downpipe will not rust any time soon since there's no flexpipe...if yours has a flexpipe that would be your first POF. I've had exhausts go for years and than I had that one that wasn't properly made that fell apart in six months....all depends on the quality and the amount of salt in the winter

I have a 1997 saab 9000. what down pipe would you suggest I buy?

Aero9000102 · #8 12-22-2007, 11:52 PM

buy your downpipe off of www.genuinesaab.com they have a universal one for any 9000... same with elkparts, abbottracing but much more expensive... go gor GS its a great deal.

I went to GS and saw one that said 3' exhaust for saab 9000, is this the same as a downpipe?
