Well, a little while ago I posted in inquiry of adding an open air filter kit (similar to what Speedparts offers) to my N/A Saab 9000 CD. Thanks to a little help from this page, some ingenuity, and a lot of luck :) I finished the kit. All and all it cost about $25 in parts plus the K&N filter (about $50). The aluminum tube can be ordered from JC Whitney for about 20 bucks and the plastic insulation piece can be bought at home depot for about $5. The most noticable difference is definitely the sporty, throaty sound that it produced, but I have also felt a bit of a kick in acceleration. Of course, this acceleration increase is only a "boy, that feels better" kind of observation and has no scientific backing. Anyways, for any Saab 9000S or N/A CD drivers out there willing to put in an hour of work, I'd definitely recommend this upgrade. It sounds great, and draws from a cool, less limited (than the stock air box) source of air.
