Default turboback..

so now that i have my new hoses on...no more oil leaks..
amp is in..music works..
body repaired..no more trashy looking bashes to the side of my car


im looking into to getting turbo back exhaust.
but i dont know if the stock turbo is able to 'expand' or allow 3" or 3 1/4 piping..
is this possible??


i know that aftermarket exhaust dont add a whole lot of hp these days with the computers taking control of everything...but i would like the little bit of hp..look..and sound..

so any help is appreciated

Well actually I have a 3" downpipe from GenuineSaab.com and getting a 3" exhaust past the downpipe custom made for another $300 at a local muffler shop. The exhaust with a combination of a better intercooler and intake actually do a lot for this car...and than the reflash only adds a lot more to it.

the deal with intakes is - it's a crapshoot...for one thing I really don't think that you need one, just get a K&N drop in filter and you'll be fine until around stage 4 level. Do that mod last. There is really quite a big aftermarket for your car, look through the catalog on GS, as well at Jak Stoll Performance (goodle it). Call both places, they will talk to you. Jak is a good guy to talk to when planning out your car.
