Exhaust Note (Saab 900 NT)

When I bought my first Saab (turbo) the sound of the engine / exhaust clinched the deal. I switched to a 900 NT after a couple of years (that was about 10 years ago now). I still have the same car (I'ved owned other OG 900's on the side), I still love it, but I have always thought the exhaust sounded sucky. My car is one of those which sounds like a diesel at start up and I couldn't hear the exhaust for the clattering of the engine. Now, I finally have a resonator / muffler combination to spin my crank. I tried a straight turbo system from the cat back and found it too harsh (I also had a chronic manifold-to-downpipe leaks due to a soft engine mount but that's another story). More recently I added a 12 inch Flowmaster Hushmaster resonator between the cat and the muffler and it toned it down just enough. Now it sounds sweet, husky but still Saab-like. This is just one guy's opinion of course.
