Straight Tailpipe & Sport Exhaust
 
Straight Tailpipe & Sport Exhaust

This details the exhaust system with the downturned or hidden exhaust pipes.
The exhaust system is complex, and differs for diesel & petrol.

There are many different methods, types and ways to upgrade, all of which can be dedicated to it's own website. If you are looking to upgrade, please see a reputable muffler sop, or consult with others at SaabCentral who have performed similar upgrades.

The exhaust system is such that there are 2 silencers. One is mid-body, and one is at the full rear. You can see components to the right.

One easy upgrade is to get the 9-3 Twin Sport Exhaust System or the 9-3 Aero-Look Sport Exhaust upgraded muffler to the rear.

If you are entertaining this, you may have downturned pipes & no cutout in the rear bumper skirt. A cutout will have to be made & a trim piece put on. The kits include only the rear muffler and a clamp. You can find installation instructions for the rear silencer (muffler) here and the rear skirt cutout here.

The illustrations depict how the exhaust system is laid out. The Petrol (Gas) exhaust shows all petrol systems, for Linear, Arc & Aero. Different models have different parts. The illustration is just an idea of how the system is made up.

What I want is just the tip in different styles, but I haven't been able to find that yet.

Typically found in USA, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, The Netherlands, Russia.
