On the right hand or pass side there is a vent with a rubber gasket underneath, should seal up pretty well and only allow fresh air in from the outside, not from the engine bay.. Also, make sure the flap is open unless you want to recirculate the air. Saabs have a unique flow thru ventilation design that works great....have seen some that people have tie wrapped shut or ope for that matter...lastly reving the engine is not going to be a great way to detect exhaust leaks, blocking the pipe with a rag while idling would be better...
