Well lately I have been toying with my air intake. I have a '91 900 S, so there is a lot of room to work. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the origional stock setup, but it is basically the air box (2" intake on top) There is a a horn style plug that is put in the hole. It seems really weird why Saab would have made this. At the smallest point it is only 1.5" thick. Seems like it would be very restrictive, and it was. Just pulling it out made more power, and torque especially at the midrange (also a throuty sound). After being like that for about 3 weeks. I began to tink of cold air induction. Well after a trip to ACE and $8.47, I had a rubber coupling (2"), a 90 degree fitting, 13 inches of 2" pipe, and 2 45degree fittings. This allowed me to run the piping down to the lower fascia below the bumper. Putting the 45 degree on the end leveled it out so that air would travel more feely into the pipe. I realize that a 90 degree and 2 45degree bends are not great for air flow, but the difference is amazing. Now there is even more torque at the mid range. Just a suggestion, DO NOT drive through deep water. I'm, thinking of pulling it off when the rain season comes, because getting some water in your engine would suck!
