silencer removal.... Posted by REM in Seattle [Email] (#4) [Profile/Gallery] (more from REM in Seattle) on Mon, 15 Jan 2001 14:48:05 In Reply to: Re: 900ng air box mod, matthew, Mon, 15 Jan 2001 12:58:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The ‘silencer’ is a black plastic perforated piece wrapped with insulation, installed in the intercooler inlet tube directly after the turbocharger on all 1994-1998 Saab 900 turbos. The ‘silencer’ appears to be designed to act as a muffler for the turbocharger. Remove the ‘silencer’ by grabbing it with a pair of needle-nose pliers and pulling it out of the intercooler tube. The ‘silencer’ is destroyed in the process. Mine tore into a few pieces as it came out.
I needed the car on ramps to reach the hose clamps on the intercooler inlet tube.
