My experience - '06 flex, midpipe, muffler: let a good shop do it 1 Saabers Like This Post!

I don't think there's much to choose between the 2005 Aero and the 2006 Sport exhausts.
I did a Cat-back replacement on my daughter's 2006 9-5 Sport Combi with the 'Sport' option in November 2017. I ordered SAAB flex, SAAB muffler (chrome tip), and Bosal intermediate muffler. The "SAAB" rear muffler was a SAAB label pasted onto / over a Walker muffler & label - and the fit was POOR (this was a Nov 2017 order from eEuroparts). I had to take a MAP torch to the hangers and bend them to get the fit close to matching the bumper cutout. It's really just a generic part with a SAAB label.
If my other daughter's car ever needs this, I'll have her take it to a local guy twelve miles from here who does excellent custom work. I found him a year ago. He could cut off the old chrome tip, re-weld it and get the whole system done with better quality than what I did for less than what I paid for parts and shipping.
See if you have someone local like that. Good luck !
