Saab

Saab is not the kind of car you modify in quite the same way as everything else. Many Saab owners look for an upgrade that suits the car’s slightly more discreet, technical and turbo-focused character. This is where a Simons cat-back exhaust makes good sense, as it can give the car more sound, better flow and a more complete rear finish without ruining Saab’s original appearance.

A cat-back system is fitted from the catalytic converter and backwards, replacing the rear section of the exhaust. This makes the upgrade relatively simple, as the car’s downpipe, catalytic converter and engine management can generally be retained. For many Saab models, it is a sensible solution if you want a sportier exhaust without going all the way with a complete performance setup.

On Saab models such as 900, 9-3 and 9-5, turbo and mid-range power often play a major role in the driving feel. A Simons cat-back exhaust can give the car a deeper and more mature sound that suits Saab’s character well – more distinctive than standard, but still usable for a car often used as both an enthusiast car and an everyday car.

Simons solutions are model-specific, so pipe routing, mounts and tailpipes fit the individual Saab model. This gives a neat installation underneath the car and a rear finish that looks more correct than a universal exhaust. This is especially important on Saab, where many owners care about the car still feeling complete and not randomly modified.

The freer flow in the rear section of the exhaust can be relevant on Saab models with turbo, software optimisation or other performance upgrades. On more original cars, the benefit is especially a better sound experience, a better finish and an exhaust that better suits the car’s potential.

Simons cat-back exhausts are typically supplied in stainless steel, which provides good resistance to rust, moisture and road salt. This is a clear advantage on older Saab models, where the original exhaust can often be worn, leaky or difficult to find in good quality.

If you want to give your Saab a fuller sound, better rear appearance and a durable exhaust solution with good fitment, a Simons cat-back exhaust is a strong upgrade that suits the car’s special character well.
