Twin exhaust

[StanleyB]

Did SAAB ever sell a twin exhaust box for the 900? I thought that they did for the 900 V6. But I can't find anything about that anywhere on the net.
I am thinking of replacing my Viggen exhaust with a twin pipe version, but I don't want more noise! I just want a better look at the back. Anyone here who has a twin pipe box?

Do you mean twin tailpipes on a single box or a Y system with 2 boxes? If you mean the former then http://www.partsforsaabs.com/product_info.php?products_id=239 or if you mean the latter then I don't think Saab ever offered anything with twin boxes for the 900.

Only a simple twin like this on the NG v6 2.5  (if you can make them ou in the croped and enhanced pic)

Thanks guys. That's the one. I am thinking of fitting one of them on my 9-3 if it is technically possible. The gap cut out in the rear bumper on the 9-3 would look far sexier with a twin pipe exhaust I think. If I get that far, I'll post some pics with the end result.

See if Abbott Racing do one as they did nice ones for the 9-5 and they were quiet normally but a nice rumble when accelerating. They added about 5 bhp if I remember

Would this fit?

It probably would, but it looks like a lot more work than I would want to undertake.
I had a word with Ian at Saabtech yesterday, who knows my particular car like the back of his hands since he helped to assemble it from the SAAB parts bin. He pointed out that the NG900 twin exhaust for the 2.3 litre engine, as fitted in my 9-3, runs in a different configuration. So the pipes won't fit.
What I do regret though is that I had no idea that SAAB made a twin pipe exhaust for the 2.3 NG900. I had one of those before and would have loved to have kitted it out with a twin pipe exhaust.

Surely you can get it modded to fit from the bits?

[StanleyB]

I haven't given up on the idea yet. I'll need to clamber under a 900 and a 9-3 and take some good pics of the area to get an idea of what can be done.

Did you manage to find one ?
