I checked the exhaust flow out of the tailpipe on my 04 9-5 Aero Wagon and 85 SPG and both had a higher volume of exhaust coming out of the tailpipe at idle and you could feel a pulse to it. With the 09, there is less flow and no pulse, so I'm guessing the cat converter needs replaced. The DIC was not a Saab DIC. I have had DIC failures on 5 of the 6 Saabs I have owned with DICs. I thought that the non-Saab DICs couldn't be any worse than the Saab ones, but perhaps I was wrong. This one was purchased through a reputable online Saab supplier, but was made in Taiwan. The Taiwan DIC only had about 1,700 miles on it. I plan to replace the downpipe and cat converter and then will report back.
