can my 1989 turbo hatch get the same exaust as the saab CD?

try and get a quote from a local muffler shop...they can usualy beat the price on a catback. Where are you from? The answer to this question will determine which downpipe I'd recommend, but the catback is almost always more economical if done locally.

Roto · #6 10-06-2008, 06:04 PM

Whoops sorry south Carolina
but I'm going to buy the whole exhaust part for part from Jack Stole starting with the downpipes and ending with the tail pipe i want a custom duel tailpipe

Yeah, Jak Stoll is closest to you, but I would like to say that the genuinesaab.com downpipe is an impressive piece too. What I did was buy a GS DP and get a custom exhaust fabricated at a local shop.

Eh sounds good But I think I will stick with the Jack stuff.
What I might do is all the cheaper stuff before this
http://www.saabperformanceparts.com/item228.htm
they have a list of things I can do to my car and be pushing 230hp, 200 hp is my goal which the exhaust would of done for me
what items off this list do you recommend I did the intake already

On that list the only things I actually want to do is the ignition wires and a BOV but some told me BOV's don't work well with early 9000
so my list stand as this

Exhaust system
Ignition wires and ignition coil
Apc tuning
any more suggestions Roto?
