@@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

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 🤘🏽

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?
@@ΠΑΡΗΣ-ζ4ι with less restrictions in the exhaust system the rpms does get a longer range. The car is tuned so performance is better than stock.
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
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 🙏🏽
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

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 🤣.
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?
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 🤣
Now that I got her bra back on time to make her sound good 😂
lmfaoo 🤣 hell yeah chop those mufflers out 😎
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.
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 .
What did you use to cut that muffler? A spoon? sheesh. It's like it owed you money
sure asf did 🤣
What rims do you have on the car?
wheel setup??
Lol at the inifinity. No turbo.
I would love me a v6 Saab to bad there all autos and high mileage and really overpriced

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
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.
