Being frustrated with the fact that none of the Saab tuning companies would step up and design a "cold Air Intake"(CAI), I figured I'd just design one myself. For those that don't know what a CAI is, it is a cone filter type set up where the filter is routed down in to the fender/bumper area to grab cooler air.
Below you will see the CAI I developed and installed in my 2000 Viggen. Note the 2 aluminum cast elbow, these I had cast to my specs (designed on Pro-E) to allow proper fitment at a metal foundry. The remaining piping is mandrel bend stainless steel. All connectors are high temp silicon and all clamps are stainless steel T-bolt type. Filter of course is K&N. Piping is 3" thru-out for really nice flow.
For the first batch of elbows I had cast, I have gotten enough to make 10 CAIs. I'm working on sourcing the other parts at bulk discount to complete the 10 additional kits.
I will then be selling these kits. I'm also working on completing the detailed install instructions (w/ pics) to include with the kit.

What do you all think? Any intertest in the kits? I've only installed this on a 9-3 Viggen, so I'm not 100% sure it'll fit a normal 9-3 T7 (2000-2003)...not sure if the same space is these in the bumper area.
