i gutted the cat on my volvo, ( rusted to all hell) and manufactured a straight pipe with a 1/4" steel flange (aceteliene and a drill press) welded that to the pipe, cut off the rear flange wher the cat would mate to the mid pipe and slip fit the pipe with the gutted cat spot welded to the straight pipe. here in mass it was a challenge to find someone to do this work so i completed it myself. the car is a little more snappy off the line and less one 750$ part. just remember that your saab will still run cleaner than an excursion/ yukon or any v8 hog out there. f the system. they just want you to replace an oldie. if you have time to feel out the garages usally someone will help. most auto parts stores sell just the flanges to many different cars. all you need is a weilder ( they don;t need to know what it's for)
