Well, the reason I wrote my tale of woe was to try to save fellow Saabers like yourself from going through what I did... sorry you had to suffer through it, but at least you know others have shared your pain. I really wonder if we aren't all a little strange, putting ourselves through the agony and frustration, then grinning like kids for several days when we've finally gotten it all back together again.
I've been contemplating other exhaust work myself, but have been too chicken to get under there and do it. Florida ceased all emissions testing, and with a turbo, I know I can get a little more HP if I remove the backpressure caused by the catalytic converter. I'd like to take the cat off and shove a pipe through it for unimpeded flow, then stick it back on. The problem is, I just know that getting the thing on and off will be another pain-fest and cause me days of frustration when stuff breaks off. It's one of those "it works so don't fool with it" mental obstacles I need to overcome!
Let us know how it goes with the new tailpipe. Good luck, and welcome to the O2 sensor do-it-yourselfers club!
