Genuine Saab 3inch Catless Mid Pipe TURBO X

[@alexbautista8248]

Sounds dope! I’m going to be putting that same midpipe and a new genuine saab midpipe on my turboX as well. Thanks for the video!

[@Retiq]

Alex Bautista thank you!! So far I’m pleased with the product

[@alexbautista8248]

Retiq have you felt much of a power gain without taking it to the dyno?

[@Retiq]

Alex Bautista ehhh not really butt Dyno isn’t the greatest haha

[@mobbak]

That makes it much louder and the sound tune is huge difference than the original. But still Hirsch sound is much better. Anyway, thanks for this video (Fix the the focus issue)

[@Retiq]

MOBBAK yeah I have the hirsch mufflers on in this video

[@Boblee1975]

Sounds sweet !

[@Retiq]

thank you got to make another video about new exhaust suprise

[@nicolasmessina-iao101-9]

awesomeness

[@jpogera9939]

place a sleeve over the insert bracket to the bushing

[@yhird]

Retiq, nice mod. Just curious, do you have any issues passing New York State emissions testing without the catalytic converter? Also, are there any new fault codes generated without the cat? Cheers.

[@Retiq]

yhird hey where I live there is no sniff test for emissions so I don’t have to worry but removing the second cat doesn’t set any cel

[@yhird]

@@Retiq Awesome. I used to live in Brooklyn New York, but I'm in Florida now. I know what a pain in neck it was to have to pass emissions tests up there. Great job Retiq. Cheers.

[@TheBobinn]

My 2.8t Vectra only has the pre-cat (in downpipe) and pass the sniff test without problems, I'd assume the Turbo X and 2.8t saabs would aswell

[@roger8913]

My is AERO XWD and got hirsch cat back as you too. Do you remmber that does your mid pipe put on the hirsch pipe right on, or we need to change the pipe size a bit to make it fit? Thank you bro!

[@Retiq]

xBall99 hey the genuine Saab midpipe is a direct bolt in no needing to change pipe size or anything

[@roger8913]

it looks like you have hirsch cat back on your car, right? how do you like after install catless midpipe? does it lot loader than before and what about on highway, it is too loud or any drum sound? thank you!

[@Retiq]

xBall99 with hirsch and catless midpipe it was a little louder a little meaner no drone but I later installed the catless midpipe and I don’t think I ever got any drone with that setup...then I installed a exhaust cut after the catless midpipe which was okay louder but not as refined

[@roger8913]

@@Retiq great! thank you! do you think it is worth to do midpipe catless? i mean the sounds is better?

[@kevineg5]

great vid mate. got something like a part number or something? my dealer couldnt find anything

[@Retiq]

Damn sorry just seeing this and genuinesaab.com

[@rolandocrisostomo2003]

17:15 let me go get you the cash to pay you........goes around the corner, never seen again.

[@dragonshadow3707]

Hey guys I have the Vauxhall vectra vxr witch has the same engine but I am. Finding it hard to get stuff for it was wanting to know where yous get your stuff as I need a new timing chain and i want to upgrade my injection system to any help would be much appreciated many thanks. David

[@Neeloshorts]

Are you able to inspect this ? Considering you hot rid of the cat?

[@marsdahustler]

Sounds like a regular turbo x

[@oe8723]

you still got one stock cat

[@Retiq]

Gustav Svensson I installed a gs catless downpipe too and made a video of that

[@djkokin]

Hello...I have the same car than you ... after you made the changes...do you ever had any issue or problem with your car?? Thanks

[@Retiq]

Rodrigo Mejía rn I have the intake and catless downpipe and midpipe then after it an exhaust cut out and crap tune and it doesn’t run to well need a custom tune for my car

[@edisonarabia-meyer7777]

what size bolts are they?

[@jpogera9939]

did it need a heat shield

[@Retiq]

J Pogera the mid pipe didn’t need one

[@0gur]

What is this 'thing' with blue ring (8:40) just next to the pipe, haldex?

[@Retiq]

Szymon Pawłowski yeah the xwd that’s come right out of front diff the other “pipe” is the driveshaft goig to tear diff

[@0gur]

Deam you're fast ;)

[@Retiq]

Szymon Pawłowski oh yeah she’s a 4k pound heavy girl

[@sxikho6184]

When doing the air intake did you ever get turbo flutter or compressor surge? That's the problem I have now.

[@Retiq]

Pander G not on my auto v6 my friends may get it on there v6 but not a normal

[@jpogera9939]

needed to pre mark it

[@bearjew101]

Where did you get that 3in catless pipe from? Link?

[@garykhacherian159]

Genuine Saab

[@jonasgrumby1093]

Sounds like it has a rod knocking

[@horacerumpole6912]

A plastic zip-tie on a failing exhaust hanger-sad…

[@Retiq]

Horace Rumpole haha yeah they ordered one and I came back and put the new one on the next week

[@LeatherSatcheI]

what downpipe is this? been looking for a 3" for my 07 aero v6

[@Retiq]

BLADesCOre it says it in the title lmao “genuine saab”

[@grantharmon8826]

Do you have a tune on this yet?

[@Retiq]

Grant Harmon I do not have a tune yet iv been starting a real saab project car iv already posted a video on

[@grantharmon8826]

Retiq I would totally recommend a vtune.. I have an 08 aero xwd and a tune makes a huge difference to power and better mpg

[@dannyboy1415]

Now it needs 2-step

[@Retiq]

Danny Boy I wish but I guess tunes with two step are only the manual version

[@dannyboy1415]

That sucks. Thing would be killer shooting flames.

[@derekinbritishcolumbia1449]

And now, you get to explain to your grandkids why the air hurts their lungs? Perhaps, we can improve performance with more effective catalyst's? The performance gains are often used for only brief spurts, but the emissions life of the vehicle will surely tell the full storey.

[@Retiq]

I wanted to remove cats to hopefully hear louder and more turbo noises and exhaust

[@garykhacherian159]

Delphi coils are trash btw, stick to Bosch
