Thanks for your reply. I have until Dec 31 for inspection so mail order is my plan. The gasket was replaced before I read your post. Hope the dealer knows about the TSB. I'm very interested in the Saab Sports exhaust ($330 from sports car service) Please post that URL and any others that may have the fog light ( if you have them ).
