I've wondered the same thing myself. I don't think the size of the market is the key influence on price. If market size were the key driver, then I would think that there would be lots of performance option for the Camry, one of the highest volume cars, probably in the world. Try finding a performance exhaust system for that car.
Are the tuners making a big profit on their Saab offerings? Yes, I think so. Are they charging what the market will bear? Again, I think yes. Would their volume increase if they lowered their prices? Again, yes. If the price for a 9-3SS chip upgrade dropped in half to $500, I'd buy one today.
Of course, an unfavorable exchange rate doesn't help the price either!
