If you're looking to give your Saab 9-3 a serious boost in performance, the ETS Intercooler is a game changer. This unit is designed specifically for the 2003 and newer 6-cylinder models, and it’s built to fit right into the stock location without any hassle. No need for complicated modifications—just drop it in and feel the difference.
What sets this intercooler apart is its smooth-flowing cast tanks and a bar and plate core that’s not just efficient but downright impressive. The core is 100% vacuum brazed, which means it’s tough as nails and ready to handle whatever you throw at it. With louvered external fins and a finely designed internal fin pack, this intercooler works hard to maximize airflow. The internal fins are cleverly staggered and offset, ensuring that every air molecule gets a chance to do its job—scrubbing heat away and transferring it to the external fins. This clever design gives the ETS intercooler an impressive 82% efficiency rating, which is pretty remarkable when you're pushing around 300 HP with only a minimal drop of just 0.75 psi.
And let’s talk about flow rates. This bad boy can handle a whopping 1080 CFM, so if you’re cranking up the boost, you can rest easy knowing this intercooler has got your back. It’s rated for up to 710 crank HP, making it a solid choice for those who want to push their engine to the limit.
Now, onto the build quality—this isn’t just any intercooler. The vacuum brazed bar and plate core is rugged enough to withstand rocks and debris that would easily dent lesser cores. Plus, it features custom cast Aluminum 356 end tanks that are meticulously crafted. Each end tank is deburred, shot peened, and TIG welded to the core for a flawless finish. Before it even makes it to your hands, every unit undergoes a thorough visual inspection and is pressure checked to 35 psi to ensure you’re getting nothing but the best.
In short, if you’re serious about upgrading your Saab 9-3 and want an intercooler that’s built to perform and last, the ETS 1000-10-IC-016 Extreme Turbo Systems Black SS Intercooler Upgrade is the way to go. It’s a solid investment for anyone looking to enhance their ride’s performance.
