I installed Saab's new enlarged inlet snorkel for the 9-5 on my car this morning as part of my 150,000 mile service. This install is very easy, espicially when replacing the air filter at the same time. The new snorkel has a much larger cross-section than the old style for more air flow. Whereas the old snorkel is a narrow oval, the new one is circular with a diameter equal to the longest dimension of the old oval.
I haven't had a chance to try it on the road yet, looking forward to that!
Plan on buying a new hose clamp to secure the snorkel to the air filter box. I had to cut my old clamp off with a Dremel tool - too old and too corroded to loosen with the screw.
