Here is how I found it:
This is what it looked like 5 days after I bought the car. As Saabs will do, it lulled me into a sense of security, then started to shed parts. I drove it over to a friends house to show it off, and go for a ride. Then the exhaust fell off while about 400 feet out of the driveway. The odd part is, it fell off in front of the house I would wind up BUYING 3 months later. I fixed the exhaust with a collar out of a t-shirt, and the rolled up plate off the front of the car.
I have had the 900 for about 7 months now, and have done the following:
-APC mod
-3" exhaust
-TurboXS RFL BOV
-K&N filter
-boring matenance
-Autometer C/F boost gauge
-Autometer A/F gauge
-24x12x3 FMIC with 2.5" tubing
UPDATE:
-post 88 axle swap-done
-9000 rotors and calipers-done
-intrax springs-done
-SPG wheels-16" aero wheels!-done
-MegaSquirt-I have a crappy laptop now, saving for wideband
-Ford injectors- replaced with saab 91 Saab 9000 injectors-done
New stuff on page 2!
Here is my BOV. As you can see, it's kinda big. The RFL Stands for "Really Fuc**ng Loud". It does not dissapoint

Gee, I wonder what one is stock?
Parts had to come off....
To go with the biggest FMIC on a 900 evar, I also tossed in a full set of 2.5" stainless tubing with silicone connectors, and t-clamps.
We'll see. I hope to finish this soon!
Oh, and I'm swapping the blue cloth interior for a grey/black leather one!
w00t!
