Hi there,
On my manual 2008 Aero XWD (V6 B284R identical to yours), I installed a complete exhaust system from a 4-cyl XWD car that I bought for 250$. This was from a wrecked car, but exhaust was like new and intact.
Same sound as the OEM V6-specific one I removed from the car. And bolt-on without any mods.
This a nice option for your Turbo X. You'll have to removed the stainless steel decorative tips and weld them to your new 4-cyl exhaust as they are different.
Look at my old post about this : https://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/9-3/index.html?bID=157295
The 4-cyl system is still on my car as of today. I did reinstall the gutted V6 unit a couple times for track duty, but there is no gain in HP as the mufflers are already straight-through from factory. The only difference was the pitch of the sound : raspy and high pitch (gutted mufflers) instead of guttural and rich (stock mufflers, either V6 or 4-cyl).
