@@MassiveTrackHunter 3rd to 5th is most fun lol. i can’t tell the amount of time i’ve surprised ppl with this little saab haha. these cars are really built well i’ve been driving them for years and they always pulls strong. i can’t wait to feel that big turbo power in there this summer 🏎
@@SnarkyBullet thanks brother 🙏🏽. the car as of rn is 100% stock with a turn from my friend. but i’ve started building a turbo kit for it & my brothers as well last year. the manifolds are done just waiting until time gets warmer to finish it up. so lot of content will be dropping finishing up the cars 🙂.
thank you very much. it’s most fun to me when i don’t drive it for a long time then i take it out and get on it feels the power difference from the 2.0 haha
Saabs are nice cars to drive , stepping on it making the turbo turnthe car to the right . Such a good feeling . I have a slightly bigger motor than this . And also a v6 turbo
@@lloydturner48 yeah plus that much your going to have a hard time getting it to hook from low speeds haha. but we shall see how the xwd feels with the power
thank you!!! yes i had some aftermarket ones on there but wasn’t as loud then i took the tips off them and weld them back on. soon i’m doing a full 3” exhaust
Wow. I need to do something like this. Was thinking since the downpipe off the turbo is on with a vband, i might get a custom stubby bonnet exit pipe made.
@@JonathanMartinez-xs5ze yeah man they move out for sure but that day i wasn’t in the mood haha. i was trying to do some rolling shots but then he flew by so i said why not 🤣.
you can daily it with no problem if you want i don’t daily it but i’ve daily other 2.8 before and the mpg all depends how u drive tbh haha. if your someone like me who everybody pics race with when they see the car then your mpg will be sh*t. but if you drive normal you’ll be golden 🤘🏽
lmfaoo that big ass cat is outing the flames before it could get to the back 🤣🤣. soon it’ll be shooting big flames after the big turbo go on with the straight pipe 😎
i remember like 2 years ago they were dirt cheap cause a lot of ppl didn’t know about them or their potential. now if you find a clean one the price is sky high haha.
@@prolificbuilds no it’s not that many ppl use the Kelly blue book and most of them know nothing about saab I saw a 2008 2.0T for 8k with high mileage and not taken care exterior then a dealer had a 08 aero for 6.5k with salvage title and auto, really got lucky with my 2005 Saab aero doe

@@prolificbuilds about to cut off my muffler on my 2.8 asap
@@SnarkyBullet definitely worth it man haha. is it tuned ?

Lovely color , and lovely car . Thanks for the video upload
thank you appreciate the positive feedback. will be uploading more soon
Sounds amazing great vid. 👍
thanks for the positive feedback bro 💪🏽
Sounds super nice Ranaldo. Love it bro ♥
Thank you brother appreciate it ✊🏽
Very nice sound. Cheap and lighter!
thank you :)
Υou saw different in performance?
@@user-nr5wz3kd2d with less restrictions in the exhaust system the rpms does get a longer range. The car is tuned so performance is better than stock.
That was both an exhaust upgrade and a weight reduction. Does it still have the resornator?
for now it does. im going to make a full exhaust for the big turbo soon
Come to Az for one of our meets!
haha when i finish the cars i’ll definitely take it out to some meets man 💪🏽
sounds great ! :D
Still have the catalitic converters ?
thanks man 😊. yea the cat and resonator is still in there
Great great I love this channel keep them vids coming
@@renzo347 thanks for the positive feedback bro 🙏🏽
Nice bro that thing gets up an go,
lol give it a few more months and she’ll moving alright
They are very very good engines and can take a good amount of power stock. And they are very quick in stock form.
@@lloydturner48 530whp is the most ive seen so far on a stock motor efficiently.
@@prolificbuilds yeh thats a very good amount of power.
Dont need any more for a fun streetable front wheel drive.
@@lloydturner48 yeah plus that much your going to have a hard time getting it to hook from low speeds haha. but we shall see how the xwd feels with the power
Only mod i have atm is a collins twin piston dump valve. Loud as hell. With the stock recirc valve blocked off of course
i’d love to hear what that sounds like :)
What does that sound like
Did you only cut the rear muffler? Sounds great!
thank you!!! yes i had some aftermarket ones on there but wasn’t as loud then i took the tips off them and weld them back on. soon i’m doing a full 3” exhaust
Wow. I need to do something like this.

Mine if FWD so spins up like crazy
install a lsd and slap some radials on it and you’ll be good to go unless your pushing 500+ hp then you’d better off get a xwd 🤣
Is this car chipped or stock ?? Regards from other saabowner
it had a custom tune on it
did it drone at all on the highway? I really want to add a little volume to my Aero but I also daily it and take it on road trips.
at the time it still had a resonator so it didn’t drone much or wasn’t annoying.
@@prolificbuilds Gotcha, thanks for the info
What wheels are on it?
Did you catch up to the Q50?
sure did after doing bout 150 on his ass 😬 then he started weaving in & out traffic i wasn’t in the mood for that 🤣 i had already passed my exit
@@prolificbuilds those Qs are fast. But yeah,I’m not down with the weaving shit either
@@JonathanMartinez-xs5ze yeah man they move out for sure but that day i wasn’t in the mood haha. i was trying to do some rolling shots but then he flew by so i said why not 🤣.
Lol at the inifinity. No turbo.
Is it me, or do the fwd Aeros pop more than the xwd Aeros
the muffler set up is different on both cars haha. the way the resonator is designed plays a roll in the sound.
@@prolificbuilds yea lol the resonator was the first thing I noticed when I got my xwd, I sure do miss this pops and crackles from my fwd aero🥲
@@edqs6547 haha yeah the aero xwd also have a different muffler from the Turbo x. but i’ll be removing all those stuff under there soon enough lol
@@prolificbuilds sick
Its all exhaust. Nothing to do with drivetrain you goon.
What rims do you have on the car?
Would this be a nice daily? How’s the mpg
you can daily it with no problem if you want i don’t daily it but i’ve daily other 2.8 before and the mpg all depends how u drive tbh haha. if your someone like me who everybody pics race with when they see the car then your mpg will be sh*t. but if you drive normal you’ll be golden 🤘🏽
Some saabs are very economic to drive . Example the 93 1,9 TTID 180bhp diesel from 2011 is going 50 miles atleast ona gallon if you drive it nicely .
Now that I got her bra back on time to make her sound good 😂
lmfaoo 🤣 hell yeah chop those mufflers out 😎
Where’s the pop and flames, lol!
lmfaoo that big ass cat is outing the flames before it could get to the back 🤣🤣. soon it’ll be shooting big flames after the big turbo go on with the straight pipe 😎
I would love me a v6 Saab to bad there all autos and high mileage and really overpriced

look harder. see them always going up for $2k and under with under 150k miles. Atleast here in AZ
@@lukaswrobel3070 damn mbn here a 2.0T high mileage are over 3k in OR and when you do find one in good condition they are expensive because they know what they have
What did you use to cut that muffler? A spoon? sheesh. It's like it owed you money
sure asf did 🤣
wheel setup??
A+ for repetitively redlining an engine that has no temperature in it
where do you see the car redline?
the car is nowhere hitting the redline. the car has a hard cut limiter set at 3500rpm for 2 step and launch control
U go to car meets down in ct
no haven’t went to any in awhile plan to go to a couple this year tho. hbu ?
@@prolificbuilds ya bro u got a phone number I wanna show u my saab I just ordered 3inch downpipe

You have an extremely bad misfire keep driving your car like this without fixing it and it will blow up any day
haha okay 👍🏽
They all sound like that at idle and it doesn't raise the misfire counter so it ain't misfiring
@@deanmcclaughlin914 How did you know? Mine have the same only on cold start since year and I don't know how to fix it.
