New To Saabnet-question about mods for fuel mileage...

Hello all, long time listener, first time caller... finally got around to getting a membership.
To specifically ask this question (and others in the future I'm sure):
I am thinking about getting one of those exhaust upgrades from Swedish Dynamics/performance to try and get a little better gas mileage. I know they also have the air intake mod kit as well.
Considering getting both and doing both at the same time.
Anyone out there tried this exhaust kit and get good results? The associate on the phone said that 4 to 5 miles per gallon is average, but some people have seen upwards of 9 to 10 mpg increase. This almost seems to good to be true.
I have a 93 900S non turbo, by the way. it's an automatic ( I know I know ) and it gets 24 mpg consistently (as long as everything is running ok) - is it realistic to pay the expense of these items and expect a positive change in mpg? I'm weighing this versus what I'd save in gas over x amount of days/months/years...
At any rate, looking forward to talking to all of you in the future!
