Now to the heart of this Swedish....Thing

Ruffrower's 1989 Saab 900

The engine has also been taken out twice in two years. The first time was a month or two after I started to drive the Saab and that was because the timing chain popped and went flying every where inside the engine and bent valves and did all kinds of damage and boy that was fun paying for. Then last summer (02) my tranny seized up and that had to be replaced by another rebuilt tranny that cost another pretty penny and now the tranny I have in it now the 2nd gear likes to slip

It has a 900 turbo air intake from my dads old Saab 900s that came off of a Saab 900 turbo.. and that also has a nice deep tone and sucks in cooler air then the horn looking intake that came with the 900 and takes the warm engine air. And once again the exhaust from an 84 900 turbo.

I only had one.. My bought a 85 i think it was an it was a 900 Turbo. So when he got rid of that i took the muffler since mine was rusting away. so just one. And it wasn't really loud. It was alittle louder then what i did have and it had a nice hum to it... oh man it was nice
